Working with cut paint swatches, patterned forms, and the visual vocabulary of everyday life, this series of works pull from the architecture and textures of yard spaces.

My backyard growing up was a place of boundaries but also but also one of curiosity and testing limits. These memories are layered with my children’s experiences of their own yard — the same blend of containment and exploration, familiarity and discovery.” – Adam Matak
