Simon Petepiece, Orange Room 02

Marker, Mason’s Line, Debris Netting
122cmx152cm/48x60 inches

Simon Petepiece is a visual artist living and working in Montreal. His work deals with the materiality of the built environment and is informed by his time working in architecture. Orange Room 02 utilizes debris netting, a material typically used to cover building facades during construction, as a substrate for a fictitious interior space. Windows, arches, and other architectural elements are used as symbolic objects that give shape to a highly simplified one point perspective that is rendered using embroidery and permanent marker. The transparency of the woven fabric creates the feeling of observing this space through a window or screen, while layered pieces of debris netting add a three dimensional aspect to the piece.
