A few words from the artist
My work evolves around my personal search for the definition of space. From my perspective, space is a collection of coherent moments of which our emotions form the boundaries and our feelings dictate the outcome of our actions. Therefor I preserve certain moments in my sculptures, installations and photographs, sometimes more permanently than others, using different materials to suit the concept at hand. This complex dialogue between an intense thought and feeling, form and material, doesn't happen overnight. It takes a certain incubation time to form the ideas into a solid structure which, in my case, looks plain and simple. In my opinion it is the intensity of a clear form that has the most inpact on space. Besides the artwork itself, the surroundings can also be adjusted, converted to create the maximum impact. I try, when ofcourse this is possible, to arrange the total presentation and not soley focus on the finished work.
My skills as a photographer I gained through practice. The sculptingdiscipline on the otherhand, I learned most of it in Pietrasanta, Italy (Christien Sielcken) and partly at the University of Amsterdam (Da van Dalen).
The year 2004 brought me great joy both from an artistic and personal perspective. The birth of my daughter made me even more eager to make my work. There were those who betted their entire wages, saying that my creative merits would wash away. In the contrary, the year 2005 will not bring less or more of the same. It will be a turning point in my young career.
From stonecarving (what I 'm still very passionate about!) in Pietrasanta to more conceptual work in the near future. This year will defenitely surprise those of you who are expecting the sound of my martello in my studio and find me constructing installations, wall objects or pouring liquid plastics instead.
Feel free to drop by in my studio to find out yourself what I'm up to.

Yours truly,
Chris Peterson
