"We have recreated the world through physicality and visual potency. It is reconstructed out of objects from the past and present. Images are cut up, scales are changed, materials painted and rusted in a process of reconstruction. We have recreated and reconstructed meaning through these materials as a means of recreating ourselves"  Michael Matthews
