About this artwork
Akin to a recipe, Matthew's artistic methodology structures both his research and creative process. This piece dissects temporal moments into their fundamental fragments, and explores how these ‘ingredients’ share connections.
Recipe_20
Place your paper in portrait orientation.
Using the Petrol Blue marker, make a single mark in the top-left corner.
Continue downward in a straight line. Keep the marks evenly spaced, similar in size, aligned, and made with the same stroke direction.
When you reach the bottom, begin a new column parallel to the first, maintaining equal spacing.
Repeat until the entire page is filled.
Switch to the Cool Grey marker.
Add a mark 2mm to the right and 2mm down from each Petrol Blue mark.
Continue until every mark has a Cool Grey offset.
Return to the Petrol Blue marker and repeat the same offset process, covering all Cool Grey marks.
Repeat again with the Cool Grey marker.
Add one more layer with the Petrol Blue marker.
Finally, using the Cool Grey marker, place one last mark offset from the bottom-right Petrol Blue mark.

About the Artist
Matt Torr (M.T) is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau, whose artistic exploration is a response to the daily rituals that populate his domestic landscapes. M.T dissects temporal moments into their fundamental fragments or 'ingredients'. His artistic methodology structures both his research and creative process. M.T explores how these ‘ingredients’ share connections, through his process of list making and methods of re-assembling. Through this process, he challenges perceptions of mundane actions and presents a unique perspective through which to view the familiar. By elevating the ordinary, M.T encourages us to find beauty, meaning, and inspiration in the everyday moments that often go unnoticed.
With a Bachelor's Degree in Spatial Design, M.T's artistic practice was recognised early on when he was awarded the 'Most Outstanding First Year' in 2012. He went on to receive the esteemed 'Artichoke Award’ in 2015 and the prestigious 'Resene Color Award' in 2017. After spending four years working in landscape design, he pursued further study, culminating in the completion of a Master of Design with Honours (First Class) from AUT University in 2023.
