Serif Launch // New Artwork
Hi Everyone,
It’s cold here in Michigan. We’ve had snow, ice, then warm weather and then snow, ice and snow again. Having moved a year ago, I’m happy the studio is a stone’s throw from my house. 2022 has stayed busy: Some larger pieces for shows and commissions but also some smaller new work that I’m excited to share with you today.
New in the Process Series: Serif
Serif is the newest piece in my Eight Emperors line, and it launches today at 10am EST. Composed of 50 sheets of acid free and archival 80# cover weight paper, Serif reveals a sweeping pattern form.
It went through many iterations and technical issues to arrive at its final design. I’m happy with how it continues the Process Series’ lineage (Sleeper and Filament). To celebrate the launch, use code SERIF22 to get 15% off your Eight Emperors order through March 15th, 2022.
Upcoming show
Should you find yourself near Naples, FL in March, some old and newer work will be on view at Method and Concept's amazing space. The newer work recently returned from Sharjah, UAE, where it was featured in the Islamic Arts Festival.
Unholy Stagger Wash 48" x 80" x 5" 2021
New work
It's exciting to have simultaneous larger projects happening in the studio. It activates the space and my brain in a different way than the smaller Eight Emperor pieces. If you’re looking for something larger, let’s talk. Here are a few recent works:
Unholy 324 in Venetian Pink Paper 48" x 48" x 3" 2022
Unholy 325 My battery is low and it's getting dark - Black Paper 48" x 48" x 3" 2022
Ara 633 Holy ghost turn my hand - Marrs Green Paper 2022 - 48" x 48" x 1" 2022
My goal this year is to do an entire hospital: patient rooms, hallways, cafeteria, kids area, parking garage. If you can help make this happen, email me. I’m serious.
Best wishes and health,
Matt
