"I create paintings, public art installations, and community art projects based around participation, collaboration, and processing the experiences and realities that make up our lives. I use materials and visual language from observed social and environmental surroundings to create meaning. I find that meaning through research, discussion, and direct community engagement. In my practice in general, I do not center myself. I invite others to participate in the creative process in order to make a platform for expression that genuinely represents multiple points of view. I see art as a way to engage with the world, learn from one another, and create something that embodies that process. I aim to align the method in which something is made, and what the materials represent, with the concept of the artwork." - Mat Tomezsko
