Peter Halley (B. 1953)

‘[In his] work the composition has a resemblance to the internal structure of buildings. There is a cell in the center, and one of two conduits flowing from it. If the cell has a striped window without conduits, it means it is a solitary cell that is isolated and controlled. If it is connected with several conduits, it is located in an organization. The cell connects to the outer world with these conduits. The conduit might signify energy equipment, a drainage system, or a communication pipeline connecting offices. This is also a landscape for a computer terminal, the icon of society’s artificial intelligence.’ MAKIKO MATAKE
