About me

Peggy Atherton 

I am interested in how contemporary society relates to nature, cycles of life and decay. Using road kill animals that I  find as materials, I  create odd circumstances through gestures, materials and  colour.

My interest in the  processes of  making, carries a playfulness disparate mix of elements, sometimes cast and sometimes presented in their own natural state,  juxtaposing mortality and concern with hints of humour.

Exploring  a complex relationship that is particularly pertinent with regards to global ecology and our impact on the environment.

I am also passionate about  curating and was Gallery Co ordinator and curator  at the Tablet Gallery in London for 4 years. I am a co founder of Buffet d'art an on going art project which show cases emerging  and  established  international and  national artists.
