A photo book by photographer Brian W. Ferry, focusing on artist Peter Shire—one of the central figures of the Memphis Group and its only American member. Shot in spring 2019 at Shire’s Los Angeles studio, the photographs capture his creative space and vividly showcase his distinctive aesthetic and spirit through a range of intricate, colorful objects and tools. Everyday items such as drill presses, extrusion machines, toilet seats, and shelves are transformed by Shire’s hand into works of art. Ferry’s serene and attentive lens brings out the quiet power of these pieces. Bathed in Californian light, the studio becomes a portrait in itself—bearing traces of creativity, humor, and experimentation.
