a recent master of fine arts recipient in photography from rochester institute of technology, matt is primarily concerned with the contemporary landscape. by photographing locations that are representative of the support and strength necessary to the function of our society as they adapt to their surroundings, his work initiates the personification of the most perceptually simple of objects. his study is a ritual—there is order to both the act of photographing and the performative qualities of the structures. the viewer can recognize the evolutionary traits in the most solid of forms, and gain access to the ritual of the photographic process and its use as a tool to control space and interject moments of phenomenological appearance.
