A CBC New Brunswick Book List Selection"I start with an original
object, break it, and transform parts of the piece into other
materials. These pieces gather meaning and explanation as I work
with them."Peter Powning is simultaneously referred to as a
sculptor and a ceramist, but his art does not fit easy
categorization, incorporating and combining elements from one
medium into another. His work challenges the viewer to reconsider
the object, its form, and its function. This inventiveness has
resulted in numerous exhibitions, awards, and commissions for
public art sculptures throughout Canada.Featuring 175 full-colour
images of Powning's work along with essays by curators and critics,
Peter Powning celebrates the career of one of Canada's finest
visual artists and accompanies a major retrospective exhibition
organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
