Matti Doroff earned their Bachelor’s degree in Digital Media Art from Hamline University in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in May 2022. Their work plays with physical sensation and perception. In their three-dimensional creations, textiles, metal, projection, interactivity, and videography explore ways to defy cis-male heteronormative perceptions in art making. Matti uses imagery established by American traditional and neo-traditional tattooing in their two-dimensional work to serve as a tongue-in-cheek rebellion and reclamation of the body. The rich tradition of tattooing has contributed to their practice in the past and this reconnection through illustration serves as the next step for them. While creating sculpture and illustration, Matti is also progressing towards a tattoo apprenticeship to extend their artistic practice.
