About the Artist
Peter Morse
b. 1981, lives and works in Little Compton
Bio
Peter Morse is a sculptor and painter whose work examines the physics of stillness — the precise moment a heavy form appears weightless. Across bronze, steel and pigment, he builds objects that hold tension quietly, refusing spectacle in favour of patience.
His work has been shown across the UK and Europe and is held in private and institutional collections. He continues to work from his studio in Little Compton, Rhode Island.
