Peter in Residence
Through March and April this year, Bauhuis has been in residence at Fundere Foundry in Sunshine, in Melbourne’s west. This has been an immersive period of experimentation and collaboration with the foundry team and has allowed Peter to push beyond the bounds of the artist’s studio. At time of writing, a high-stakes process of development and trial casting is at hand, which may (or may not) result in the largest object the artist has ever produced. This sense of risk and immediacy is inherent in the vessels on display, with their swirling patterns and occasional, unexpected protrusions testifying to the inherent chance in that moment when liquids, colliding and melding, become solid.
