Reflection by Matthew Wilder

As a new comer to Nevada, the desolate mountain vistas remind me of Arizona, my childhood home of 19 years.  The snow is a great addition that makes for awe inspiring vistas.

The gelatin plates are a departure from my usual pencil medium.  It’s very messy but results in emergent properties in the work. Giving the discs to another artist gives me a nervous curiosity.  I want to see where they take my work but that requires relinquishing my creative control.

Collaboration is a change. It lets me build off and into a base piece. Having a foundation takes my mind into directions I wouldn’t start into on my own.
