September 2025: Matt Burlingame - Wood Sculpture

Years and years ago in Michigan, a young man started making unsettling dioramas and strange miniature houses in his spare time. He showed them to people. The neighbors were concerned. But what could they do? 
Later, he moved west, and made small things for motion pictures and tv shows. Puppets danced. It was a golden age. 
No longer a young man, he continues to make unwholesome creations, mostly out of wood. Saws, drills, knives, and a lathe are the tools he wields. Would it surprise you to learn he does his work in a basement? 
Now hush, the time for words is over. Just relax, give me your consent, and let the art make love to your eyes. 
Matt Burlingame is a Portland based artist.
