Matthew Richardson uses collage and assemblage and works in clay, paper, paint and pixels. He is interested in the ways that objects and images survive or break down through the effects of time. He explores this by combining physical, symbolic and narrative fragments. The objects and images that emerge are like signs or relics in a half-remembered language or story. They hover between the contemporary and the archaic, and the magical and mundane.
Matthew lives and works in Norwich. His work has been shown in both gallery and museum spaces including Transition, Outpost, New Craftsman, Kingston Museum and The Beaney. His work in illustration includes projects with the V&A, the British Library and the Poetry Society. He has taught at a various art colleges including Hereford, Norwich and the RCA.
