Peter Liversidge

Peter Liversidge was born in 1973 in Lincoln, UK. Conceptually focussed and spanning photography, collage, sculpture and performance, Liversidge’s approach to his work invites collaboration and is subsequently formed by influences beyond his control; his artworks are investigations of coincidence and not limited to the language of a single medium.
