Aaron McPeake - Pilgrims' Medals

£5,000.00

Bell bronze
18 x 18 x 1.5 cm
2018

Aaron works as a sculptor and filmmaker with sound at the centre of his practice. His sculptural works are designed to be physically interacted with by beholders meaning that there are multi sensory engagements, which he believes, provides added agency and meaning. Having lost much of his visual acuity in recent years, this situation has informed his artwork, research and methods of practice. He sees in detail at two metres, what most people see at sixty. However, the importance of sound, touch and smell are not elements that are intended to replace the importance of the visual in his work but rather to add to it, providing a more complete experience. He has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally and has completed a number of public sculpture commissions. He recently co-curated the acclaimed Beyond the Visual exhibition at the Henry Moore Institute and co-edited a book published by UCL Press, also titled Beyond the Visual.
