A. D. PETERS


A. D. Peters is an artist who has been working in a mode where medium and content are strangely interlinked – antithetical and correlated at the same time. Peters’ concerns for the natural world and his fascination with post-­industrial materials play off one-­another in a picturesque, poetic, and intellectually intriguing conversation. He uses the stuff of the industrial past – steel and copper – and attenuates it in concert with the forces of nature – rust and corrosion, typically a marker of waste and decay, but in Peters’ hands, a noble patina, a ground upon which the drama of his magic unfolds. From the emerging patterns of these natural processes Peters teases suggestive imagery of a pre-­ or para-­industrial world, a wholesome world – landscapes, bucolic idylls, introspective moments of otherworldly light, and poignant declarations of eco-­consciousness that resonate beyond the confines of the edges of the work.
