Peter Hide creates large-scale upright welded sculptures from rusted industrial scrap steel, producing abstract forms that emphasize material weight and oxidized surface as compositional elements. A student of Anthony Caro, Hide developed a practice centered on the expressive potential of discarded metal, scaled to monumental proportions. His work transforms salvaged industrial debris into geometric and organic configurations that negotiate between landscape and figure.
