Michael Matthews  Michael Matthews (b 1961) formed Dasart in 1992. He resides in
Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
A consistent theme running through Michael's work is fragmentation and discontinuity.
The pieces are generally constructed out of metal but various other materials like old
cardboard and burst tyre sections are allowed to breed within the matrix of collage, thus
creating thick surface skins.
