This Friday’s featured artist is Matthew Picton and his amazing paper sculptures!
Their intricacy is fascinating!

From his artist statement:
Mapping and cartography have long held a fascination for me.
Apart from the obvious opportunity for imagination of place and origin,
there is the actual physical beauty of the cartographic document,
a document that in itself invites sculptural interpretation.

These sculptures transform the two dimensional mapped image in to multi layered sculptures.
Structure and vertical space have been added to the cartographic form, the city can be visually entered,
the hollow spaces imaginatively inhabited and moved through.
