Materials have the power to affect human experiences and emotions, in that they help us build intimate connections with inanimate objects through touch and feel. Whether they are used as a textured finish on a flat surface or the medium of creation itself, they are integral to artists and designers who seek to explore, experiment and elicit the right responses from their audiences. Material Matters showcases stunning applications of 4 different types of material – namely wood, metal, stone and paper – on a variety of mediums. It explores the compelling ways with which each of their unique characteristics have been cleverly manipulated to shape the outcome of the particular project; with curated sound bites that offer valuable insights into the process.
