About the Item
Phillip Shore's artwork is informed and influenced by his travels to and the study of the archeological artifacts from Ancient Greece and the relationship between humans and the environment. Mr. Shore is an artist and an educator who divides his time between living rurally in Michigan and residing in an urban setting in Texas. Mr. Shore received his MFA from the University of Notre Dame and his BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Over the twenty-plus years in which he has been making art, Mr. Shore has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and was invited to attend an international sculpture symposium in the Republic of Georgia.
Mr. Shore has received grants from the State of Michigan, Arts America and most recently he was the recipient of the Haggar Scholar Award through the University of Dallas. His work is in many public and private collections including Purdue University, the City of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Rustavi International Sculpture Park, Rustavi, Republic of Georgia, and Akin, Gump P.C., Dallas, Texas to name a few.
Artist Statement
Wendell Berry, in his 1989 essay Nature as Measure writes, "But we know too that nature includes us. It is not a place into which we reach from some safe standpoint outside it." This quote embodies the overarching thesis of my work: the relationship humans have established with the physical world and questioning why we see ourselves as separate or outside of nature.
I am influenced and gain insights through the exploration of artists and authors who consider the land and our place within it. This information along with my own investigations results in natural and manmade forms, shapes, colors, textures, and lines being acquired from the world that I interact with on a daily basis, reimagined, and incorporated into my sculpture. I am interested in how the tools I use in the garden, woods, and studio act as an intermediary as we interface with our surroundings. The vining tendrils of plants, the color, and shape of insect life and seeds, the graceful curves found in the trees, the texture of bark, the movement of water, etc., initiate the foundation and inventory so integral to this work.
In developing forms and compositions my process involves a balance between reason and intuition mediated by formal concerns. Within my work I connect disparate elements, an acorn cap placed on a chicken egg, a branch with foliage of feathers, and, in the same vein, I use cast elements of the human form, hands, and feet, atop reliquary-¬‐type vessels containing elements from nature to express the interconnected relationship of humans and the environment.
This work emerges from personal exploration, an exploration seeking my place in this natural system. The work is neither declarative nor didactic but is rather an evidence of this exploration.

Peter Kirkiles Biography
American, b. 1966
Sculptor Peter Kirkiles stresses that the inspiration for his metal sculptures comes from the satisfaction of the process of fabricating a piece in a skilled manner and from his attraction to everyday objects and their relationship to humans. He finds beauty in the utilitarian tools, and objects that we may not notice in our day to day lives. By playing with their size and their proportion to human scale, he forces the viewer to examine more closely the object’s construction and its overall design importance. He has a nostalgia for well designed, well used, history laden objects.
“I’m a maker; I’m also an admirer of things well made. Over the years, I’ve chosen to make things that I love. I find the subjects of my sculpture in real life; a shoe, a camera, a clock, a ruler…made to scale, as sculpture.” –Peter Kirkiles
Kirkiles holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tufts University, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts and a Masters of Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He has exhibited nationally including a 2021 solo exhibition “At Scale” at the Shelburne Museum, Shelburne Vermont. His work is held by The Shelburne Museum, The New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT and by private collectors throughout the US.
*****
Peter Kirkiles’ sculptures are visual odes to everyday objects. He is a maker’s maker, a master craftsman, a lover of well-constructed things. He has a special affinity for things well-used, that have stood the test of time and remain steadfast in their intended purpose, that bear the marks of labor and living, that contain echoes of humanity: an antique chest of drawers, a well-worn...

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
I was born in Loveland, Colorado and now reside in nearby Fort Collins. The natural beauty of this region was instrumental in my aesthetic development. The language of the land and its features has guided me toward sculpture as my means of artistic expression.
I discovered my love of art in high school, having been exposed to advanced creative concepts through a self-developed independent study program. I grew up surrounded by construction tools...
