Based in Herefordshire with his young family, on the border between England and Wales, Matt creates Big Art – beautifully crafted, ingenious focal points for permanent display. His 20 years of prolific making have led to over seventy installed civic projects across the U.K and internationally.
He is a commissioned sculptor of steel, copper and bronze and despite these materials' resistant nature, he is known for creating bold yet delicate and graceful sculptures with natural themes and mythic creatures on a monumental scale.
In 2018, Plas Glyn-y-Weddw commissioned Matt to design a work of art that could be used as a café - a design that would combine art, nature and culture. Working with conservation architects Mark Wray (https://markwray.co.uk/plas-gl...) and Fold Engineering his vision was brought to life in a £1.5m development that was officially opened in March 2023.
Matt's first solo exhibition at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw will open on October 12th, 2025 and will run until December 24th
'Gateway' will be a collection of metaphoric ‘gateways’ inspired by the concept of parallel timelines and the processes of moving between worlds. Intersections between art, ecology, energy and matter. Matt draws inspiration from the natural world, mathematical order, chaos and chemistry to instinctively fuse together his portraits of plasma, trees, root structures, funghi, water and guardians.
