Matt Mahony-Page
Matt Mahony-Page is a U.K. based artist, currently situated in South East, Kent & London.
Often through methods of physical labour, the final actions or rather 'meeting points' between the artist, material and object are something strived for.
These meeting points result in dead-end exchanges which are often anticlimactic yet inevitable, carrying intended complications.
Rigged setups and primitive contraptions.
Usually demonstrated through absurd yet playful means, with an undertone of human ability, condition and suffering. This normally takes form in Live Performance but is also touched upon through video.
