Poised on the edge of balance, my sculpture is designed to stimulate, amuse
and invigorate the spirit. Irreducible in its directness, exposing the
fragility of time and the mystery of being, I create my works to capture
breathless moments asserting themselves as life forces. Pieces vary in scale
and material from intimate, finely executed castings, to wall relief and
architectural installations. I work in materials that are inspired by the
site or the context.
To quote artist Christine Taylor Patten, “The work of Perci Chester exposes
that inner understanding…the integration of purpose and possibility, a
directness and humor, light and profound.” In addition to permanent
installations, my work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in museums
and galleries in the U.S. and abroad.
