the paradox of magic 


An Essay on Douglas's practice, written by samuel playford to accompany the artists first solo show in the west of England "destruction of artwork" at the Tobacco Factory, Bristol. 


I look forward to the future manifestations of this agile balancing act that Matthew Douglas and his company perform on the surface and depths of these eight works on steel.

..some things mixing with other things to become another thing.. then, moving on again.
