Peter McFarlane is a conceptually based sculptor, mixed media, and installation artist.

“I take some pride in the wide and varied materials that I work in and refuse to be hemmed into any one particular element, though the recycled object or image has been a steady, first string regular! To me, waste is just a lack of imagination! I want all my work to challenge the viewer’s expectations and perceptions. I hope to unsettle the obvious relationship of the viewer with their understanding of the everyday mundane object! I hope it makes the audience look closer, think harder and reconsider the parts of our lives that are often overlooked and create a more comprehensive understanding of the world around us. I rely on long hours, landfills, serendipity, and luck to create something vivid, memorable, in amber! Still, the theme remains: something new is once again recycled from the old meanings that consciousness has left behind but not forgotten.”
