Miles Matis-Uzzo is a poet and sculptor who invites viewers into a digestive world where the in-between thrives. Their work engages raw, visceral materials—clay, beeswax, paper pulp, and latex—that resist polish and knowability. Through these unruly substances, they envision futures shaped by trans reinvention, where bodies and landscapes dissolve, reassemble, and persist in volatile ecologies. Here, decay, mold, and altered hormones transform into sites of perpetual becoming, where bodies remain defiantly unfixed.

Mirage Manifests Doom Destiny
2023An installation stemming from poetics generated from a journey through the landscape of Joshua Tree. With a multi-disciplinary approach, the sculptures, sound, and lighting orbit around Matis-Uzzo’s 2021 video release, Sunstone Slime Fault Line. Sunstone Slime Fault Line operates as a doorway into the ephemeral memory of the sculpture; disembodied hands bask on rocks and braid hair, a portal rides a horse, a hand flies over the landscape and sneaks up on a ponytail. As you approach the installation, the blond braid resurfaces in the material realm, out of the flimsy plywood, out of the tanning rock’s body. The braid becomes rope, an object to pull. Locked in place. The objects behave like artifacts of a fallen civilization, of a subconscious mind, as a way to reimagine our collective present and future.
