Raised in the naval town of Portsmouth, where massive concrete structures line the edges of the sea, Matthew Hilton has an appreciation for paradox - weight and weightlessness, anthropmorphism and abstraction.

INSPIRING BOOKS “The books I have around me in my studio and at home are about the work of artists, architects and photographers who have inspired me or generally aligned with my way of seeing.
