Detail of Endeavor an artwork by Matthew Frock

Design by Matthew Frock

About the work:
Matt is interested in the dichotomy between what is necessary and what humans actually do. This painting series explores the engineering feats humanity has accomplished for the worst possible reasons. The images are snapshots within our present-day Koyaanisqatsi – they represent examples of the extremes by which we endeavor to become out of balance and poison ourselves.
