Irene Peake /Goal Statement
In my artwork, I try to acknowledge the ordinary things we usually overlook in
everyday life. Quite
often it is ordinary people doing things with attention, courage and
compassion who are life’s true
heroes. The simplest object or smallest detail can have a significant impact
on one’s being.
My goal for this residency is to make one large assemblage to honor objects
from my childhood that
have become touchstones in my life. While creating, I hope to explore the use
of new materials and
3-D techniques.
I moved recently and do not have a studio yet. My challenge will be making a
large piece in a small
space, so I will have to figure out how to work efficiently while avoiding my
usual studio chaos. I may
also need help in figuring out how to adhere objects to my substrate.
