195 Peter Shrimpton
Region: Eynsham – North & West
Artform: Sculpture
Coming from an industrial background my inspiration is from a wide range of materials that can be found or scavenged in both skips or scrapyards. The discovered pieces then being re-engineered or re-used into a new form or something new. The completely random shapes and material composition of the scavenged items being the catalyst for the sculpture.
I encourage people to have physical contact with the particular creation in the hope of an enlivening experience through the senses:
Touch – the cool, hard feel of the metal
Smell – the aroma of worked metal and finishes
Sound – the resonance from a piece being struck by a hand or an object
Sight – the natural patina of metal ageing and discolouring.
My artistic influences include: Jay DeFeo, Alexander Calder; Antony Gormley & Thomas Heatherwick.
