Tremen commission St. Austell

By Matt DavisExhibitions, WorkNo Comments

Tremen Comission; St. Austell, Cornwall

At the end of 2019 I was awarded the Tremen commission St. Austell to redesign a passageway to the main high street. I proposed my modular 3D, Geometric tiles that tesselate with themselves to form regular patterns and simultaneously in infinitely random patterns for the installation.

The inital designs were fairly ambitious within the available Tremen commission St. Austell budget. The current plan is to install mirror stainless steel cladding to the ceiling in order to maximise the sense of space. Tiled cladding installation to both side walls and LED track lights in parallel to the top of the walls.

Heals Discovers 2017

Heal’s Discovers 2017

The Heal’s Buying team have scoured design and interiors shows around the UK and beyond to find the finest untapped talent in the UK. This year the common thread throughout the final selection is innovation in all its various shapes and forms. From digital design and 3D printing to the creative use of waste material to make striking surfaces, this year’s collection is as innovative and creative as ever.

Originally trained in graphic design, Matt Davis returned to his first love, ceramics, after 15 years away. After earning a first class degree in 3D Design and Craft, he began to explore the binary nature of ‘things’ by producing objects that appear to be virtual. Winning him a place on our Heal’s Discovers 2017 shortlist, multiple stages of software are used to create generative models that are 3D printed and then traditionally moulded and slip cast in liquid clay creating a truly 21st century ceramic collection that challenges the preconceptions of technology and traditional craft.
