Matthew Richardson makes, crafts, collages and assembles in both physical and digital media, using paper, cloth, clay and found images and objects. His work explores how meanings, messages and stories shift, mutate and fragment through the processes and passing of time - what survives, what disappears, and what leaves a trace. These aspects are brought into play by looking at the material, symbolic and historic aspects of images, objects and materials, and how they interconnect. Oblique and chance connections are found and built upon, allowing fragments to evolve into their own particular forms, hovering between the magical and mundane.
