Field Station: Matthew Angelo Harrison

Field Station is an annual cycle of projects that features work by artists at different moments in their careers.

Hybridity is a concept often invoked to describe the changing, multivalent nature of identity in the modern world. Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison engages this concept in his sculptural works, which combine disparate materials and processes, and seem simultaneously familiar and otherworldly. His sculptures often utilize or are fashioned out of found objects—specifically, wood carvings and animal skeletal remains from the African continent.
