Mathew McConnell builds works at the intersection of language and material fact. His process starts with translation—moving from description to form—so that meaning is carried into a physical object while the original reference slips away.
For this exhibition, McConnell begins with AI-generated descriptions of artworks and exhibitions, then renders the resulting phrases through hand drawing and digital letter modeling. Each letter becomes a separate 3D-printed form, which is then cast in iron through sand-casting. The finished panels function like archives that can’t be verified: precise in craft, unstable in attribution, and resistant to returning to what they once referred to.
