Ingleside Gallery at Ballast Coffee opens “Portal, Puzzle, Pretzel, Pothole,” a focused look at Matt Goldberg’s newest collage work. These pieces move between play and precision, building on years of quiet experimentation in his studio.

​

Visitors will see compositions shaped by pop culture, art history, and the textures of secondhand books. The work carries the same instinctive energy found in his ceramics, stretching and shifting space with a clear sense of humor and rhythm.

​

Guests are invited to get an early look at the full series at the reception, where the collages will be shown together for the first time. It’s a chance to see how these studio explorations have grown into a confident and fully formed body of work.
