Peggy Atherton
I am interested in how contemporary society relates to nature, cycles of life and decay. Using road kill animals that I find as materials, I create odd circumstances through gestures, materials and colour.
My interest in the processes of making, carries a playfulness disparate mix of elements, sometimes cast and sometimes presented in their own natural state, juxtaposing mortality and concern with hints of humour.
Exploring a complex relationship that is particularly pertinent with regards to global ecology and our impact on the environment.
I am also passionate about curating and was Gallery Co ordinator and curator at the Tablet Gallery in London for 4 years. I am a co founder of Buffet d'art an on going art project which show cases emerging and established international and national artists.
