Peter Ward creates prints, collages and artists’ books from his studio in Geelong, Victoria. He is regularly a finalist in the major Australian print prizes and has had his artists’ books acquired by the Victorian, NSW & Queensland State Libraries as well as the Australian National library.
His earlier artists’ books concern themselves with the existential threats of global warming and the magical thinking surrounding the pandemic. Lately he has been drawing inspiration from the industrial landscape. The prints in this exhibition take images from the artists’ books and elaborate or re-interpret them.
