ABOUT ME

Matt is a freelance sculptor and model maker for cinema, fine arts, theatre, and product design. Other pursuits involve photography and sound composition, with personal and collaborative projects culminating in the exercise of these interests in live performances. Having a background in special effects for film, these skills lend themselves now to the fabrication of puppets, props, and masks. Matt has also served as a Visiting Lecturer and Studio Technician for several universities.
