Matt collaborated with Madfaber on the production of a large-scale wood sculpture for Iñigo Navarro's exhibition Ayer pisó tu sombra un tigre, shown at the Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid. The work pays homage to the museum's history, referencing both Goya — whose paintings form part of the collection — and the tradition of Spanish religious wood sculpture.

The piece was CNC-milled in tilo wood and later polychromed by the artist. With over 600 hours of milling time, the process merged advanced digital fabrication with hand craftsmanship.

Matt 3D scanned a live model using a handheld laser scanner. Working closely with the artist, the model was suspended in a harness and posed with structural supports to achieve the desired gesture. Quick scans captured the full body pose; high-resolution scans were taken separately of the hands, feet, and face, and later merged into a single model.

After final pose adjustments, the model was prepared for fabrication — digitally segmented into parts that matched material constraints, machine dimensions, and assembly logic. Each segment was milled on both sides to produce a fully three-dimensional form.

A custom workflow was developed for preparing and milling the wood blocks: each block was surfaced using the CNC itself to achieve perfectly flat, parallel faces at an exact thickness suited to the machine's working envelope. The sculpture's complexity required deep cuts that pushed the limits of the CNC's reach — necessitating careful planning around tool length, chuck, and spindle geometry. These components were modelled in 3D, and a custom Grasshopper script was developed to generate safe toolpaths for both sides of each block, handling alignment pin placement to ensure precise registration during flipping and seamless final assembly.
