Forever Until Tomorrow: Matthew Eames
Detail of “Clusterlings” installation by Matthew Eames
“By presenting incomplete junctions of materials juxtaposed with recognizable structural elements, my work is a reminder of the lack of permanence that exists within our constructed realities.”
Carbondale Arts presented “Forever Until Tomorrow”, a solo exhibition installation by ceramic artist Matthew Eames, at the Carbondale Arts R2 Gallery. Matthew’s artworks were also available to view and purchase online at our website. “Forever Until Tomorrow” was on exhibition June 5-26, 2020.
Matthew Eames is fascinated by the development of structure. With his new work in “Forever Until Tomorrow”, he looked to interpret structure and the space it inhabits through physical and emotional layers. His use of materials, space, angles and movement were all meant to trigger some amount of discomfort towards our built spaces. By presenting incomplete junctions of materials juxtaposed with recognizable structural elements, this work was a reminder of the lack of permanence that exists within our constructed realities.
“Forever Until Tomorrow” was generously sponsored by Forum Phi, an award-winning Architecture & Interior Design Firm with offices in Carbondale and Aspen, Colorado. Forum Phi thoughtfully provides a collaborative architecture and interior design environment, with client-centric and sustainability-driven processes. The team specialized in design-led renovations and highly crafted new builds, with an expanding portfolio of work across the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond.
This exhibition was open the same dates (June 5 - 26, 2020) as “Angel Places” by Alissa Davies.
