"If you believe, you can achieve."
Pete Rickard looks at the materiality of his work in respect to its characteristics. Experimenting with each material testing them alongside each other to be able to stand up using its strengths and weaknesses to create the illusion that it shouldn’t be erect. He focuses on the idea of decay and entropy in the making of his work with the intention to replicate an experience of a degenerative disease. With a combination of the two focuses, Pete creates sculptural, photographical and performance based works.
