Matthew Lusk on Belonging, Art as Resistance and the American Dream

<p>Artist Matthew Lusk talks with Carrie Scott about art practice, community, and the American dream - and how getting diagnosed with ADHD changed everything about how he sees himself as a maker. Matthew is a sculptor, painter, installer, and builder working across media. He&#39;s spent the last few years reviving the Goudy Wildlife Club in Newburgh, New York, and building Winter Ours - a makeshift community center born during the pandemic. He&#39;s obsessed with questions about belonging, resistance, and why creative practice is an antidote to disconnection.</p><p><br></p><p>Explore Matthew&#39;s work: <a href="https://foundwork.art/artists/matthewlusk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://foundwork.art/artists/matthewlusk</a></p><p>Get art in your inbox: <a href="https://www.seen.art/memberships#newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.seen.art/memberships#newsletter</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/watchseenart" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/watchseenart⁠</a></p><p>About the Have You Seen? series:</p><p>The ⁠Have You Seen? Series⁠ is all about talking to emerging and mid-career artists about their journey to now.</p><p>Curious about how an artist got to where they are or indeed why they chose art in the first place?
