Matt Burgermaster makes work focused on the advancement of architecture as a unique form of spatial practice and material production that is deeply entangled with cultural concerns and environmental processes. At MacDowell, Matt created a series of drawings that explore architecture’s relation to permanence and processes of re-making.
