Peter Chang explores the relationship between art and science through his range of abstract, three- dimensional objects which can be adorned, narrate their own meaning, and embody concepts remote from their original function. As a sculptor, Chang’s pieces are primarily modern plastic jewelry, strange furniture, and creepy-crawly objects. “Object-making is a non-verbal attempt at balancing the intellect with the intuitive,” is how Chang explains his relationship to creativity.
