Peter Short Artist. I trained as mechanical engineer from leaving school in 1978 then continued to HNC level while working full time in the automotive industry. Since 1984 I have worked in product development within the motor industry. In my role as development engineer I have used a wide range of engineering practices and processes. I have been sculpting for 4 years now. Each piece is formed from sometimes hundreds of individually sculpted steel blocks. As each block is cut and formed they produce a very individual shape – no 2 are identical leading to a rustic wall effect. Each sculpture is treated in several different processes to produce the unique patina and finally each one is lacquered. These sculptures are inspired by the many buildings and byways I see around. Although I have an idea of what I want to make at the start of each sculpture,Pathway,Wall,Building,Scene, the sculpture evolves as I make it and the end result will be determined by the sculpture itself.
