Anodizing applies an electrical current to titanium, forming a luminous oxide layer — a process typically reserved for aerospace and biomedical manufacturing.

Matthew Martin explores the expressive potential of this chemical process by removing it from its industrial context and combining it with traditional engraving.

Through this intersection of chemistry, technology, and ornament, Matthew creates vivid floral imagery on plates of titanium. These pieces bring delicate organic forms into dialogue with a material engineered for extreme technical performance.
