Peter Finnemore – MU

About

Without a set narrative or singular theme, this installation explores the pluralistic language of photography in relation to materiality, installation, painting, video, and 3D works. MU is a Zen term that explores the space between conventional and dualistic meanings. It is a creative and expansive potential opening between an assortment set of complex binaries – of space and time, yes and no, between logic and the irrational. This playful exhibition examines a series of unexpected visual relationships and the creative overlaps between diverse bodies of artwork.

Peter Finnemore is a Freelance artist and a Visiting Fellow at the University of South Wales. Originating from existential enquiry, he seeks to “make visible”.
