Born in NYC in 1970, Matthew Cusick attended the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, BFA, 1993. Cusick has been exhibiting his work since 1996. Cusick is a multimedia artist whose collages using maps are intensely intricate. He creates portraits of people and landscapes using Maps in a Collage. Cusick also employs book pages, coffee, magazines, ink, etc. The pieces are gorgeous at first glance and then upon closer examination I was mesmerized by the intricacy of the lines of the maps he used to compile his compositions, fascinated by the new worlds the many maps created within the imagery. Cusick also has some digital videos and drawings on his website. His drawings are in a series called "Defacements" where he had "defaced" his old text books with drawings.
