P_E_A_K_A_Y_

P_E_A_K_A_Y_ is the collaborative output of visual artists Paul Wardski (UK) and Klara Vith (AT). Their work explores objects and memory – both the individual connections humans build with objects, as well as shared memory between people. They are interested in what people keep at home to individualise their rooms, to make them sacred spaces and to create connections to their past and their past homes. They ask questions like why we form attachments to ultimately meaningless things, why we give them importance in our lives, and why we humanise many trinkets.
Working across painting, installation, textiles and printmaking, they incorporate domestic, everyday materials and motifs. Elements of humour and defamiliarisation come from playing with scale and materiality. Anything from tea towels to hoovers to avocado plushies with cute faces can evoke feelings of familiarity.
