Jerry Pethick: Shooting the Sun/Splitting the Pie is the first
major volume dedicated to the career of this multifaceted artist.
Pethick's practice has always been difficult to categorize; though
his work focused on questions of perception, which have been a
central focus in the visual arts over the past four decades, his
amalgamations of photography, optical devices, sculpture and
drawing - as well as the structures he assembled to create new
conceptions of material space - look like no other artist's work.
His oeuvre has always evoked something of the amateur scientist and
inventor. In the late 1960s and early 70s he became widely known
for his pioneering work with holography in London and San
Francisco. While he stopped working with holograms when he moved to
Hornby Island, British Columbia in the mid-1970s, the nature of
visual perception, the history of optics and integral (or fly's
eye) photography using multiple lenses remained central to his
work. Although Pethick drew upon a sophisticated in-depth
understanding of science and art history, his work was constructed
from modest materials and found objects, including cheap plastic
Fresnel lenses, discarded sinks, hay bales, light bulbs and bicycle
tires that could be found in a local hardware store or garbage
dump. While Pethick's work has been included in exhibitions across
Canada, Europe, the United States and Japan, this publication will
accompany the first retrospective exhibition of his work.
