PETER WARD
If we are looking for hope amidst the turmoil of ecological crisis, then Knepp can offer at least a glimpse.
Beyond the obvious overall recovery of biodiversity, my interest is piqued by the soil, both as living organism
and agent of carbon sequestration. My painting expresses mutual conversations with rocks, clays, soils and
other natural materials, such as charcoal and wood ash, that are found in abundance here. For a more
balanced ecological future we must be willing to step back and listen to what nature has to say. Through the
materials we work with and how we work with them we may inspire another small step in this process.
Pete has been at the forefront of earth pigment research in the UK for the last 18 years. His journey began in
North Devon, looking into the locally significant Bideford Black and has since expanded, including
contributions to national and international exhibitions, projects and publications.
