In this episode, I chat with Matt who is the artist behind Granny Prints. He is a social worker and visual artist from Sydney. We connected online as I started exploring lino printmaking. Printmaking is a practice that requires patience, trust and the methodology of trial and error.
Matt is a passionate artist who has dedicated his time to helping others not only through his art, but through his social work. He openly discusses his journey with mental health as a cis-man, something which needs to be more of an open conversation and I appreciate Matt's vulnerability when discussing this.
I look forward to seeing Matt's development as an artist within the next coming years. His ability to generate beautiful art discussing topics which speak true to the current zeitgeist is something I think he should be really proud of.
I hope you enjoy the podcast and I would like to thank Matt for coming on.
About Granny Prints:
Matt is an emerging artist, primarily focused on printmaking, who is living and creating on the lands of the Gadigal & Wangal people (Sydney, Australia). He is a social worker, amateur weightlifter, and enthusiastic cook. He lives with a neurodiverse brain, chronic illness, and like most folks: experiences challenges with his mental health. Matt uses his creative pursuits to help manage the ups and downs of being a human living through late-stage capitalism.
