[ John Peter Askew ]

‘Since 1994, Askew’s principal medium has been photography, although when studying as an undergraduate he understood his work as sculpture, first and foremost. His approach to photography has remained ‘sculptural’. Inside each image, the weight of the world, and the textures and materiality of objects are given their due. Askew describes his approach as offering ‘respect’ to his sitters and to the material world around us alike’ Alistair Robinson 2022
