Matthew Saindon
Maryland native Matthew Saindon studied Photography and Evo-
lutionary Psychology at Goddard College in Vermont. He draws
from this experience to experiment with light and color,-
crafting hand made camera lenses using found objects. Each
lens is fashioned to reflect images that challenge the view-
er, and asks them to question their internal biases in re-
lation to how they expect to see the world. He has shown his
work extensively at galleries and museums throughout Balti-
more, New York, Vermont and California. Matthew lives and
works in Baltimore’s Highlandtown Arts District with his wife
