About

Mathew Sawyer creates objects, actions and events that oscillate between the public and private, the troublingly personal and the unsettlingly familiar. Using the platform of a solo presentation the installation will incorporate unseen work from the 90‘s alongside brand new work to contextualise the artists ongoing, acutely personal practice. Through this broad practice Sawyer imparts a sense of solitude, in which he insinuates both a distance between himself and the viewer and a desire to be a part of the world. Alongside which an intimacy with the viewer is manifest through the shared familiarity of existential anxiety. He dares to give voice and form to such angst.
