Curatorial note:
Into Nothing operates as a meditation on subtraction, yet it resists purity. As one of only two mixed-media works in the exhibition, it embeds fragments of canvas and wire mesh directly into the plastered field. The mesh reads as latent reinforcement—an infrastructural trace surfacing through minimalist restraint. What appears as void is materially charged: a cleared site that still bears residue of former structure. Architectural thinking is explicit here—foundation, interval, and support remain visible even in reduction. Rather than emptiness as negation, the work proposes nothingness as condition: a ground state from which structure may emerge, already threaded with memory and latent tensile force. Artist: Matthew Remsbecher Born 1985, Matthew Remsbecher had a varied and colorful childhood living with his father, a carpenter, traveling throughout Colorado and Washington state. Living under unconventional means, Matt was exposed to a variety of unique living conditions, art and artists which informed his unique and honest experience and impression of the world. Finding connection with nature and craftsmanship, Matt connected with the power of creation and creativity- sculpting forms in the woods and traversing the high desert plateaus of Colorado. Developing a sense of design and vision into his 20s, Matt found his way to a professional education in Sustainable Design and Urban Planning; a discipline that allowed creative explorations combined with technical expertise and practice. Establishing himself as a notable designer and builder in Bellingham, Matt has applied his creative and technical practice to a host of artistic mediums including 3D sculpture, projection mapping, video performance, DJing and creative fine arts. Furthering his practice into his 30s and early 40s, Matt works to cultivate subtle forms of fine art that evoke a calm presence of form and color. Meant to be minimal and abstract, his works utilize organic forms, materials and gestures- presenting us with subdued shapes and colors and a process of self discovery of emotion, feeling and visual intrigue.
