Maps & wrecks

Japan after the terrible earthquake and tsunami would be a perfect terrain for Nigel Peake’s wreck studies and psychological maps. Tough his work is joyful in essence: On his maps the surroundings are re-ordered by their personal and imagined meaning. In his drawings of wrecked houses he is attracted by their sculptural qualities when the elements of the structure are re-ordered. Phantasy beats reality.
