Matthew Smith

Smith presented a new body of sculptural and wall-based works, bringing together many of the recurring themes in his practice. Colourful images of staged domestic settings were shown alongside animated floor works, combining everyday hardware and materials with large-scale prints.

The works called on a number of disparate references including Angela carter's writing, glam rock music and a cartoon dog called Roobarb. The pieces systematically resisted fixed meanings and common sense in encouraging an intuitive and impulsive response.
