... Don't Fall Asleep

An installation comprised of Matt's urban photography printed on sheet material, abstract office lightbox elements placed around an unfinished hand knotted ‘Nightmare’ carpet in a sterile tiled space of a former shower room. These can be read as studies into gestures of refusal and finding a way of decoding readily available materials that are commonly used for advertising signs. Mirroring the everyday, reflecting and creating otherness through the use and hi-jacking of familiar materials and common printing techniques.
