BIOGRAPHY

 

Matthew Wickham is currently engaged in an examination of the rural versus the urban in both the artistic and the social context. He is committed to sustainability on a local as well as a global scale. Through his own artistic practice, and work for Limousine Bull Artists’ Collective, he has developed skills that support these ideas through the development of a framework that support both artist and audience. He is a keen hill-walker and climber, and an amateur environmentalist/naturalist.
