“I make because I have to make,” Matt Amante declares. “I am wired to make and can’t not make. It, really, kind of, is that simple.” His innate desire to “make things” and create are the exact reason this newcomer to the Mathews-Sanders Sculpture Garden debuts with two pieces – one in the downtown collection and one in campus collection at Delta State University. SCBS #12 features stainless steel and precisely placed river rocks, bringing the piece to 74 inches tall and 18 inches wide. “I can get obsessive with a certain theme and I am motivated by exploring that series, whatever it is, all the way out. There are several in this self-study series. I’m excited to see how this piece lives in your downtown space.”
