Peter Sharp: Wood Quarry, Outdoor studio residency at Hazelhurst Arts Centre, 21 October 2022 - 19 May 2023; And installation of large freestanding sculptures 1 June - December 2023
Peter Sharp works across drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. As an artist, he is interested in the order of the natural world, thinking about and exploring nature and its systems to generate unexpected outcomes.
Wood Quarry is an on-site residency in the Hazelhurst Gardens, where the artist has been developing experimental works in an outdoor studio between October 2022 and May 2023. The works are made from large pieces of fallen timber that have been salvaged from the local area.
Throughout the residency visitors had the opportunity to see Sharp working with chainsaws and other tools to carve and construct freestanding sculptures, pushing the boundaries of his practice while responding to the site and materials.
Large freestanding sculptures from the residency are on display in the eastern courtyard 1 June 2023.
