Mathew Sawyer presents new and recent artworks, producing a chronicle of interventions from the artist's life. Through drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and music, Sawyer continues his series of what he terms as 'documentary works', making connections with unknowing collaborators and creating objects that oscillate between public and private.

About

                                                          I meet with friends
                                                     no one but me is aware
                                                I've tied one of my shoelaces
                                                      tighter than the other
                                                       it's barely noticeable
                                                  but at times all-consuming
                                                 I bury the words FUCK YOU
                                                            set in concrete
                         to be discovered at some unknown point in the future

                                               how big is the invisible trap?
                                                            I stack pennies
                                                            37 precarious
                                           one from each year I've been here
                                                    the newest the brightest
                                                                stupid music
                                                 I drink myself drunk as I walk
                                                        collecting feathers
                                                  in the morning a sculpture
                                            please take all your rubbish with you
