In his wood sculptures, Matt Johnson considers the expressive potential of consumer experience, articulating the formal qualities of a crumpled paper cup or a perfectly spiraled stack of National Geographic magazines with meticulous detail. Pairing quotidian subject matter with unexpected materials, Johnson’s true to scale sculptures act as playfully reverent monuments to the objects which populate our everyday lives.
A selection of these works are currently on display in the Project Room at 303 Gallery
