Featured Project

Figurative Tapestry

Figurative Tapestry, is a large-scale installation of layered, perforated metal panels filled with silhouetted portraits of West Oakland community members. From the street it reads as a shifting mosaic of light and color. Up close, you see faces. Look through the cutouts, and you see the neighborhood framed by the people who shaped it.

Site|Matter studio marks a new chapter for artists Marcus Guillard and Libby Carruth, building on decades of experience behind the scenes of complex public art projects.

Having worked as both fabricators and creative leads, we approach each project with a deep understanding of the technical, architectural, and collaborative demands of site-specific art. As collaborators, we are driven by the enduring stories embedded in people, places, and shared histories. Our work explores how collective memory shapes identity, and how art can preserve and celebrate what endures.

Through sculpture, installation, and design, we merge traditional craft with advanced fabrication to create works that bridge past and present. Our process values inclusivity, engagement, and precision, transforming shared stories into enduring, place-based artworks.

We are Site|Matter studio — artists dedicated to transforming lived experience into lasting form.
