About Peter
Peter Ayres’ sculptures are folded from single, unbroken sheets of paper. They test the limits of the medium, freely exploring the possibilities of curved and pleated surfaces to create innovative, ground-breaking, and delightful work that combines mathematical rigour with recognisable organic form.
Peter approaches art with a designer’s eye, using a combination of systematic thinking and intuitive leaps to find new forms that have never been seen before. His work is exploratory, guided partly by logical, mathematical processes, and by artistic intuition.
Much of his works are representational. These pieces have a direct appeal as recognisable silhouettes, which is then enhanced by their qualities as sculptural forms. Other pieces are abstract, and range in style from highly controlled ‘rule based’ designs to free-form ‘intuitive’ ones.
Recent pieces aim to strike a satisfying balance between these two poles of freedom and constraint, taking familiar decorative motifs from architecture and nature, and reinterpreting them afresh for a modern audience.
