working with Matthew

Creatively, Matthew and I take opposite approaches that end in the same point. He enjoys restraint and discipline and thrives on it like a sportsman. Growing up, he had the athlete’s attitude to limits. I was in a punk band, ignoring all restraints and embracing freedom. I still seek those heightened moments of freedom in my work. He does it the other way around, if that makes sense.
