My Friend is SAD

My Friend is Sad was a collaborative project with my partner Claudia Borfiga, which culminated in a pop-up exhibition at The Arts Fund, Santa Barbara. The artwork displayed was made during a week-long studio intensive, in an attempt to reframe sadness, and to consider the role it plays in our lives.

​The exhibition included:
- Consequences of Sadness, Monoprints
- Sadness the Creator, Mask & Screenprint
- Sad Slogans, Painted plywood
- Mr. Obvious, Comic
- Sad Swag, T-shirts & Mini Prints
- Sharing is Caring, Digital Print
- Say Hi in the Corner, Installation & Postcards

“Sadness often feels like an undesirable emotion, to be shunned, not shared. We wanted to tackle the narrative on this. To us, sadness is a basic emotion of human life (not to be confused with depression) and we should all be more comfortable talking about it.”
Matt Head & Claudia Borfiga
