About Peter Fraser
Gerry Badger gives a brief overview of Frasers career and shows how these recent photographs form a natural progression from earlier work. He says: Here, Fraser continues his exploration of the overlooked object. The objects that have attracted his attention here are a disparate lot. They range to pick a few at random from two pine cones, a shard of blue glass stuck in mud, a paper aeroplane, to a drinking glass stuck behind a metal table leg. Fraser seems to be testing Hazlitts famous contention that all things by their nature are equally fit subjects for poetry. If one looks at Frasers inventory of things, one finds that some are natural, some man-made. Some are cheap and mass produced, others are lovingly man-made. Also some are in use, some have been discarded. Some are new, some are old. Some have form, some are formless. In short, one could take each object and assign a Platonic value. Here is formless chaos, there a thing of value and so on.
