Working from his home in Somerset, Matt makes sculptures that are inspired by nature to create unique, exciting and quirky statement pieces.

The materials he uses are predominantly recycled, found or repurposed. A Victorian Landfill site on the Dorset coast has eroded away revealing its rusty treasures that he can collect on the beach after each high tide. Matt loves rummaging in old barns, farmyards, junk shops, for anything he can use for eyes, teeth, fins, horns or heads.

As part of the making journey Matt wants to reflect and celebrate the natural environment and use any materials that he can adapt to create an artistic impression of various body parts.

It’s important to Matt that his sculptures demonstrate his passion for the materials he's working with and that they capture part of his creative self, he also enjoys giving some of his pieces a functional purpose.

Matt was the 2024 winner of The Lyme Bay Dental & Impact Clinic Award for Best 3D piece in our International Open Art Competition.
