ALAN PERGUSEY

The aim of my work is to create inspiring artworks for our environment. It is important that the places in which we live have unique qualities of their own and art can help do this, whether it is a place of work, play or education.
A process of research and consultation is important to each different project or site, subsequently this can result in working in different media and taking a different approach to each situation.
