Matthew Lintott's practice is focussed on collaborating with the past: with those that have been forgotten or that which is wild or lost.

He has always been drawn to remote and wild places, places that feel both past and present; unanchored in time.  These other places are liminal in nature, where we have the chance to explore the “wild us”.  Inspiration for his work comes from the past in the form of myth and archetype.  He is currently working with ancient inks rehydrated from 200 million year old fossils.

His practice begins with drawing, informing the printing process. This is combined with an experimental approach to relief printmaking, specialising in woodblock. He incorporates drawn elements, intuitive mark making and found materials. Traditional Japanese woodblock techniques have been a major influence, which has led him to print predominantly by hand without the use of a printing press.
