Chivers, Mat
Through making sculpture, installation and drawing I am looking at some of the moments of process and states of flux that exist below the surface of things. These often unseen, fundamental phenomena can occur over very different time-scales to our own, but all ultimately exist in relationship to us.
Redolent of creative dissolution as much as it is of instances of growth and expansion - the work can be seen as being an exploration of imagined landscapes as well as external events - these dichotomies and paradoxes are central to the work.
The work is not about ideas of beauty per se, almost despite the often seductive surfaces or the manner in which processes are presented.
