Winter Lights

Winter Lights: A new show of lamps and lanterns by Peter Pierobon will be on display at Salt Spring Woodworks in December.

Peter’s red and yellow cedar lanterns represent common objects such as ‘Plumb’ from a carpenters plumb bob, fauna as in ‘Bird’ and flora, ‘Yellow Cap’. They are elegant hanging sculptures perfect for landscapes, patios and entranceways; they cheer up gloomy days and light up dark nights and are very effective against SAD (seasonal affective disorder).

Peter Pierobon was educated in Rochester, New York with Wendell Castle, the leading artist in contemporary studio furniture design; he has exhibited and taught internationally for more than 30 years and his pieces are in collections from the Smithsonian to the Bellevue Art Museum. His always intriguing and constantly surprising work explores fresh relationships between the primitive and the sophisticated, traditional and modern.

Winter hours at the gallery are 10 am to 5 pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday or by appointment.
