Over the last decade, Ben Pearce has pursued a focused investigation of sculptural form, working in wood, stone, metal and found objects.

For the SCAPE Season 2018, he has produced a suite of four works utilising elements or remnants from the construction industry. Pearce refines them, exploring their potential to shift from one form of ‘vocabulary’ (construction related) into another (sculptural), while also referencing written language. We have a clutch of vowels found in both English and Te Reo which connects the two cultures.
