Matt Moulthrop Art
Matt Moulthrop is a third-generation woodturner and has spent his entire life surrounded by wood. As a young adult, he learned the artistry of woodturning comes not from the hand, but the eye. Being able to “see” the shape of the bowl has been a legacy and a gift that he has worked to improve upon with his vision and version of style, form and texture. Moulthrop strives to blend both tradition and innovation by honoring his legacy and creating a new one. Each piece he creates is a unique experience for both him as the maker and hopefully the viewer as well. He endeavors to fully display the beauty and richness of the tree and story it has to tell. Wormholes convey past life, rings communicate growth, and certain colors tell the story of death by lightning or blight. Moulthrop sees it as his job to tell the story, showing rather than talking, lengthening the life of the tree rather than ending it. Moulthrop’s work is included in the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona; the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan; the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia; among many others.
