Gord Peteran: Furniture Meets its Maker May 26, 2009

Toronto’s Gord Peteran has launched a boundary-crossing career, opening up the category of furniture to an unprecedented range of psychological and conceptual content. His work “A Table Made of Wood” is cobbled together, seemingly at random, from scraps lying on his workshop floor. At other times, he employs craftsmanship of the highest order, as in “100”, a precisely machined occasional table that disassembles into a carrying case like that used for a rifle. Peteran’s work focuses on reshaping the traditional boundaries between art and craft. For more information, please visit: http://www.gordpeteran.com/
