Little House
Robin Cameron and G. William Webb
August 10 - September 23, 2023
Peep is proud to present a two-person exhibition by artists Robin Cameron and G. William Webb titled Little House, alongside the concurrent public sculpture Monument to Reproduction installed at Race Street Pier and supported by DRWC (Delaware River Waterfront Corporation) in Philadelphia, PA.
Monument to Reproduction was created by scavenging materials directly from the couple’s brick home in Hebron, New York (Washington County). Built in 1872, the house is undergoing a complete period restoration while serving as the basis for the public work.
The exhibition Little House presents photographs, drawings and objects that represent the ethos of the house project and are source material for the aforementioned public sculpture. The varying objects weave personal and spatial connections through the artist’s lives, and the body of work alludes to their fertility journey and birth of their son Cy in February, 2023.
Peep’s exhibition and the DRWC, Race Street Pier sculpture signify shared material histories, family groups and underlying systems. A text contributed by artist Joseph Imhauser and polaroid snapshots by Michael Perrone accompany the exhibition.
