Artist Biography

Adrian Pepe’s practice is rooted in textiles, spanning site-specific installations and durational performances. By directly engaging with the living providers of raw materials—whether plant or animal—he forges relationships that manifest in objects and events imbued with artistry, sweat, mythology, and symbolism, transforming acts of making into speculative, embodied rituals that expand our understanding of material agency, ecological intimacy, and the poetics of labour.
