Matt Loughlin
Through original, hand-carved texts and iconography, made in a variety of materials, Matt Loughlin reflects on what it means to live a ‘good life’ and strives to find humour, empathy and common ground with all creatures.
Matt Loughlin is a traditionally-trained letter-cutter and stone carver. Using time-honoured tools and techniques, he creates fine art sculpture, as well as bespoke memorials by commission.
Matt’s goal as an artist and craftsperson is to bring an impactful, contemporary voice to the traditional crafts he practices. He draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources, ranging from historical monuments and folk art to traditional calligraphy and modern art.
Through his work, Matt aims to inspire people to pause, reflect, and appreciate life in all its wonder, drama and complexity.
