Matt Maddocks has had a lifelong fascination with sculptural form and studied sculpture at Bretton Hall. The setting in Yorkshire Sculpture Park inspired him to further develop his skills in material based sculpture. Matt draws from the natural form of stone to influence, inform and inspire his pieces. He chooses each individual stone for its natural affinity with his designs, which explore the contrast between geometric and natural form.

Matt has also built up significant experience to enhance his skill as a sculptor, having previously worked with wood, landscape, glass and interior design. He undertook historical research into stone carving during his studies, followed by a period of training and development in India. He still works closely with his team in India, drawing on the knowledge and skills of local craftsmen to source high quality materials, so he is able to produce his innovative, tactile and bespoke pieces.
