Matthew Angelo Harrison’s commitment to both conceptual depth and dexterous craft is evident in his Dark Silhouettes, a complex body of sculptural work wherein the artist encapsulates carefully curated objects in tinted resins. In this chapter of the evolving series, Harrison is more personal in his choice of objects and more confidently gestural in the way he carves the resin. While still investigating his ‘abstract ancestry’, as he calls it, Harrison also explores lost fathers, single mothers and communities closer to home. Mementos are transformed into fossils while African deities are embraced as friends.
