While there he served as the Visual Arts Department Chair from 2016-2019 and was a founding organizer of Riverhawk Educators United, the college’s first full-time faculty union.

As an artist, Matt’s work examines patterns in the built environment that shed light on the way collective memory and historic narratives are formed. His project, Post-Socialist Landscapes was an eight-year photographic exploration of the ways communities in central and eastern Europe dealt with monument removal and relocation some 30 years after the fall of the Soviet Union. This work was the focus of solo exhibitions at the Gormley Gallery in Baltimore, MD (2023), Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, OR (2022), the Ryniker-Morrison Gallery in Billings, MT (2022), and at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, MD (2019).
