View GalleryPeter Black is a Scottish engineer who works in physics research and specializes in designing and building apparatus for cutting edge experiments. When he is not building new things to aid the furthering of human knowledge he indulges in woodwork, music production, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, 3D modeling and jewelry making as well as building the occasional robot amongst many other pastimes. He has a broad skill set in both the design and manufacture of custom hardware and software. His artistic output has sold many works over the years and has been exhibited numerous times at The Hive Gallery in Los Angeles. He has published a successful zine on the meaning of art “This is art. This is not art” . Many of his pieces have found their way in private collections around the world.
From his base to the west of Edinburgh he creates things as the mood takes him.
