His work interprets datasets toward aesthetic revisualizations and embodied experiences utilizing a combination of mixed-media, technology, public art, and light and space installations. Matthew’s work probes elements of shared exploration, self-history, and collaborative play.

Dream Address:
I work with characters and the idea of creating a bridge for your suspension of disbelief. In animation, it is important that the slightest expression or feel of a character pulls you into their journey.
