Inspiration might come from a brightly-colored sneaker, an eye-catching dress, an intricate watch or a well-arranged print ad. Once my interest is captured, i immediately begin translating the design into my work. I begin the process by systematically identifying the most important elements of the industrial design. I am looking at color, line, shape, scale, and finish. These key traits are broken down, then reconstructed as the foundation for my own composition in photoshop. This computer rendering becomes my mock-up and i refer to it as i build my panel, paint it and apply the finish. My studio becomes an artist’s assembly line; the end result is a precise art object. I find this order by reducing the elements in the system that contrasts a state of entropy with a predetermined structural order that is based on the principles of design and architecture. The pieces are acrylic paint, mdf, and exotic wood in layers of resin. The resin creates depth and enables the piece to be viewed on multiple levels." peterson’s work is in the permanent collection of the museum of new art in detroit, as well as many other notable public and private art collections.
