Matthew Harris
Matthew Harris sculptures may look sloppy, but the corruption is a feature that takes him between two to three months to perfect. He’s intrigued by the theme of selfies, or more accurately, the thin illusion of appeal that runs through selfies. Baroque Selfies or the illusion of selfies isn’t addressed that often, but I promise you’re familiar with it. We see the illusion when someone poses at a three quarter turn, trying to hide the chubbiness of their face.
