<\/a>METAPHYSICAL HEART<\/strong>
JEWELLERY BY PETER MCKAY
Damian Skinner<\/em><\/p>\n

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Metaphysical heart : jewellery by Peter McKay.<\/p>\n

\"\"A storytelling jeweller, working alone on Banks Peninsula, with one eye focused on the artistic heritage of Europe and the other trained on the mythic potential of his local landscape. Welcome to the work (and world) of Peter McKay, one of this country\u2019s senior jewellers. From his early days as an apprentice of Kobi Bosshard, trained in the techniques and aesthetics of European goldsmithing, to the appropriation\u2028of European modernism and Medieval and Renaissance art that marked the achievement of his mature style in the early 1990s, to his recent investigation of what\u2019s come to be known as Canterbury Gothic, McKay\u2019s practice can seem contradictory, different genres with nothing in common.<\/p>\n

Taking its name from the Metaphysical Heart series, a long-running narrative in brooch form, Metaphysical Heart: Jewellery by Peter McKay is a retrospective of over three decades of jewellery, surveying the diversity and extent of McKay\u2019s work, and looking for the common threads of technique and concept that bind his work together.<\/p>\n
