Biography
Matthew Siwerski was born in New Zealand in1983. He completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at Dunedin School of Art in 2008. He moved to Australia in 2011, andlives and works in Melbourne. Siwerski works with digital media and textiles. He creates large-scale sculptural installations that include many embroidered elements,combining his skills in digital modelling, sculpture and machine sewing. His interest in textiles developed from his exploration of gender politics and fashion. He is interested in “decoding masculinities…breaking down common beliefs and challenging socialconstructions”. Although fascinated by a variety of digital technologies including 3dmodelling and printing, video and programming, Siwerski requires a more physical element to his practice as well. “…at art school in the digital department and I dearlymissed a hands on sculptural approach. I also strongly believe in creating your own processes and experimenting as much as possible. So I merged the two, the computerplatform and working in textiles”.
