MATT

Being somewhat of a neat freak and minimalist who thrives on order and pragmatism, Matt is drawn to specific outlets to express his inner visions. Naturally, graphic design fit the bill when it came to career selection.

In the framework of the television graphics he created, Matt noticed it was always the image that constantly changed as the viewer watched, inactively. In conceptualizing a series of artwork, he wanted to create pieces where the vantage point dictates the image and abundance of color, in turn activating the viewer. Where the television screen has the screen framework as its boundary, Matt wanted to extend that boundary to the dimensions of the room itself. His idea was that everyone viewing the art gets his or her own unique perspective.

He enjoys the challenge of getting the most functional and aesthetic impact out of design simplicity. In creating the subject matter for his work, Matt’s goal is to push the amount of emotion he is able to portray using a methodical medium that forces him to make definitive color placement choices. Often times the placement of only a few pegs can directly affect the overall mood of each piece.
