Peter Hayes : Room 1

Peter Hayes finds much of his inspiration in the landscape. In the surfaces of his pieces one can find motifs that he first developed after living and working in Africa. Since the mid-eighties Peter's work has changed greatly from that of a ceramic artist who might loosely be called a potter, to that of a sculptor who happens to use ceramics as his medium. Function has been changed for pure form. Never standing still, he is constantly experimenting and developing his work. The sculpture is instantly recognisable as his . . . very definitely of our time, but with reference to antiquity . . . to which we all respond.

His unique styles, techniques and innovative concepts have placed Peter Hayes at the very forefront of the international community of contemporary sculptors.
