An exhibition of selected artwork, by Peter Myers, an artist with Aspergers Syndrome. Part of the Tricks of the Psych Trade event.
Peter is interested in communicating the nature of autistic spectrum disorders to a larger audience through his art, and has exhibited his work worldwide. The exhibition highlights the value of individual testimonies to psychological understanding whilst giving a unique insight into an autistic mind.
Much of Peter's work is detailed, precise and often repetitive his patiently hand-crafted sculptural pieces appear to have been machine made, and his line drawings have algorithmic qualities that could have been produced computationally. To explore these qualities, a selection of Peter's artworks have been digitised and animated for this exhibition.
A selection of work spanning 15 years will also be displayed, including line drawings, canvases, wall hangings and sculpture.
Peter's work and life story have recently been documented in The Exact Mind, edited by Simon Baron-Cohen and Sally Wheelwright and published by Jessica Kingley publishers. The exhibition is part of the Tricks of the Psych Trade event.
