Matt Siegle
Visual Artist
Artist Statement
My work examines the interconnection of human beings and the natural world as it relates to the American West. I explore archives, artifacts, and ephemera of bodily existence with a multi-disciplinary approach that encompasses painting, sculpture, performance, and drawing. The artwork is universally inspired by my own personal experience as queer American and my desire to expand the tropes of the American landscape.
