Katharina Klug took a grant-funded research trip to Japan in 2022 and the works in this exciting exhibition are the direct product of her time there exploring and discovering new techniques.
“For me this work is a look through a kaleidoscope after a first glimpse of a fascinating country… it is a start on a new direction. I didn’t want to abandon my style but to gain a new viewpoint.” – Katharina Klug
Throughout his long career Peter has always sought pathways to the development of new ideas. Often this is a slow process, but sometimes a particular event speeds things along.
Partaking of two residencies in China recently, where Peter worked in porcelain at high temperatures, led him to develop a new body of work, made alongside his existing practice to which Peter is still deeply committed.
This new exhibition represents the outcome of Peter’s working practice.
'This exhibition explores objects that express a quiet equilibrium: fragile, shifting forms that exist in a state of delicate imbalance. Their stillness is easily disturbed, as if the act of holding too tightly might cause something essential to disappear. The works reflect an interest in forms that resist perfection, remaining slightly unresolved, unsettled, and quietly alive.' Akiko Hirai
