About the Item

galvanized steel Growing up Peter Millett was surrounded by activity. His father was an architect and his mother a musician who produced community theatre. There were always sets being constructed and rehearsals taking place; Millett enjoyed observing the transformation, the suspension of reality and the creation of a totally believable world. A seasoned traveler, Millett draws inspiration from his extensive trips through North American South American, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Exploring the architecture, native art forms, religion, and handmade textiles specific to the region. His work investigates a geometric language of shape and space, initially through drawing and constructed collages and later expanding upon that language through bronze, steel, sheet metal, and wood. Wood ultimately was the material Millett was drawn to the most. Peter Millett has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Japan. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Seattle Art Museum; Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA; Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma, WA; Continental Bank, Chicago, IL; Boeing Corporation, Chicago, IL; among many others. He completed public art commissions for the King County Regional Justice Center in Kent, WA; the AT&T Gateway Tower in Seattle, WA; and the Washington State Arts Commission in Mountain View, WA. He has received grants and awards from the ESPY Foundation and the Seattle Art Museum.
