About Matt
About Matt & Steinworks
I studied Fine Art at Bristol Polytechnic in 1984-87 specialising in Sculpture. In 1989 I spent eighteen months at Berllanderi Sculpture Workshop in Raglan, South Wales creating new work. 1991-92 I took an Interdisciplinary MA in Art and Architecture at KIAD in Canterbury. I travelled to Israel in 1998 to take part in a six month Residency which provided a basis of a 34 year retrospective. In 2005 I formed Steinworks Sculpture which allowed me to develop new work. 2018 saw a renewed change in direction returning to figurative work with a contemporary feel.
I have experimented with a range of styles and sculptural languages during my years as a sculptor. I found sanctuary in the realm of meditative environments where I was drawn to constructing both individual sculptures and sculptural spaces. My aim with this was to provoke a sense of calmness and serenity.
I have exhibited nationally and worked to commission.
I have several permanently sited sculptures, which are on public display.
Below is a small selection of some of my favourite earlier sculptures.
