About Matt

​

I have been creating sculptures for around 7 years. I use reclaimed, salvaged

or scavenged materials; predominantly wood, metal and glass.

Most of my larger sculptures started off as old gate posts!

My main inspiration comes from nature, Picasso, tribal art and rust.

My sculptures are not anatomically accurate as I like each piece to be unique and have its own personality and quirkiness.

​

My work can be seen at Festivals, markets and in exhibitions as well as online. I'm very proud to have won awards for my sculptures in exhibitions around the country as well as exhibiting in the final of the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition in 2025.

My sculptures have been described as "gnarly" and "mildly brutalist".

I think this comes from the subjects I create and the materials I use,

which can be rough edged and pointy. I

like to keep these qualities, so for example; I don't dull the edges or smooth and round the teeth, as this

would take away from their "Gnarly " character...

So, please handle with care, they may bite!
