Working between ceramics and sculpture, Peter Barbor’s studio practice engages the histories and mythologies of the sculpted figure. He is particularly concerned with sculptural embodiments of masculinity, power structures, and belief. Through employing an eclectic array of materials, both old and new, Peter hopes to expose porosities in narratives that stretch far into the recesses of time. His plastic approach to both medium and subject matter examines history through a lens of plurality.
Peter received his Master of Fine Arts in sculpture from the University of Washington. He also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design. In the 2018/2019 academic year, he was Visiting Faculty in Ceramics at the Alberta University of the Arts in Calgary, Canada. Currently, Peter is based in Philadelphia, PA as a resident artist at The Clay Studio. He has also lived and worked across the United States in Dallas, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Worcester, MA and State College, PA.
