Permanent Maintenance Peter Soriano

An accomplished sculptor, Peter Soriano began making wall drawings in 2012. Rather than shaping, carving, or casting three-dimensional forms, he now assembles and arranges visual experience, using what captures and holds his attention to generate orchestrated constellations of marks, such as those that make up Permanent Maintenance, his largest wall drawing to date. Commissioned by the Colby College Museum of Art, this multipart piece spans approximately one hundred linear feet of the William D. Adams Gallery and is composed of acrylic and spray paint applied directly to the wall.
