Peter Eugene Ball's sculpture echoes the consciousness of past ages set in the context of the present day. His works assume a timeless quality and the statements he makes deal with experiences and mysteries like birth and death, the human condition and the divine. His figures are often very simple, little more than a slender piece of sea-worn timber, transformed by a gesturing hand or poignant facial expression. Other works are much more complex and richly embellished, like a reliquary, containing something sacred and mysterious. Peter Eugene Ball works with his material intuitively, projecting onto it the images drawn from such influences as prehistoric, Romanesque and medieval art and architecture.
