“In the last couple of years, I’ve been exploring the idea of how to move drawing into the environment,” Matthew Ritchie explains before describing the inspiration for his hybrid sculpture, The Morning Line.

The project was conceived as a collaborative platform investigating the relationships and reciprocity of art, architecture, cosmology, and music. The Morning Line exists as a three dimensional drawing in space, where a series of lines and fractals form a network of intertwining figures and narratives. The work is outfitted with a series of speakers and controls, transforming the installation into an innovative sound environment through which various composers and sound artists can play their music.
