About the artworks: 

Ben Pearce's large-scale sculptures celebrate nature, its strength, and its delicate balance. The boulder-like sections of his towering forms seem tethered to the firmament yet soar into the air like the supports of some natural colonnade, the deep earthy sienna seeming to weep at the maltreatment of the environment. At first seeming to be a stacked collation of objects, as viewing positions change the works undergo quite extraordinary metamorphosis: noticeably figurative aspects and character emerge giving them a sense of animated presence. Shapes and concepts emerge and disappear as the forms interact with the space around them.
