MADE FROM WOOD AND GRASS
This was featured in the 2018 Sculpture In Context Exhibition at the Botanic Gardens. Back in 2018 I knew nothing about this artist other than the fact that I always look forward to seeing his work on display in the Botanic Gardens every September.
Anyway a few days ago I came across the following: “My name is Peter Slyman, I’m predominantly a sculptural based artist & original member of Kildare Art Collective. I graduated from NCAD in 2017 with an honour’s degree in fine art sculpture. I then went on to be awarded a residency in Clancy Quay Studio (Dublin) from 2018/20. From this base I began exhibiting works around the country including, Sculpture in Context 2018/19, Ballymaloe house, June Fest, Electric Picnic & the RHA annual exhibition.
I’m a maker & I enjoy nothing more than taking ideas from my head and making them a sculptural reality. For me the process of problem solving & fixing is the most important part of my practice when making a sculpture, its where I find my flow.”
