Object Detail
About the Work
Don
Peebles
produced
a
number
of
paintings
that
utilize
the
canvas
in
non-traditional
ways.
Instead
of
stretching
the
canvas
across
a
wooden
stretcher,
he
created
three-dimensional
forms
by
cutting
and
sewing
vertical
strips
of
painted
canvas
that
hang
outwards
from
the
wall,
creating
an
organic
form
rather
like
a
membrane
or
gills.
When
the
work
is
hung,
the
canvas
‘gills’
settle
into
flowing
repetitive
patterns,
creating
a
sense
of
movement
and
flow
across
the
work
and
outwards
towards
the
viewer.
