Looking at some of Peter's earlier works was a compositional style I
could recognise. In b&w, an illusion of clutter takes on a haptic style.
Perhaps restricting the palette in colour also allows this clutter
illusion, since colour tends to work against haptic clutter. So Peter's
colour is like a monochrome use of colour. Quite a difficult thing to
pull off, although it may sound easy.
I had for some time intended to say there are institutional links (art
schools) with Peter and Stephen and also Lawrence from UK angle. This
connects to forces conceptual art opened up, to begin with, at least
from my angle. (The way discursive formations happen ala foucault.)
Stephen's homeless blankets series is a treatment of landscape that I am
thinking about. The oblique view is a technique of haptic vision which
Stephen uses in this series, ie isn't a three point optical perspective.
(Also, why I went out and purchased a p&s digital.)
