PETER MARIGOLD Bleed is a collection of cedar wood cabinets that incorporate a form of localised ebonising. Although the forms are simplistic blocks, the steel hardware, stripped of its protective zinc coating using acid, reacts with the tannin in the cedar. This produces bleeding patterns on the wood that in turn emphasise the actual complexity of the organic material. "I intended a double meaning in the use of the word 'Bleed'. On the one hand the steel is bleeding into the cedar, but I am also interested in the point at which a regular man made form takes on character, the point at which nature takes a foot hold in the things that we create and that otherwise might be immortal, to drag them back down into the mud. I see this as a kind of unspoken never ending ritual between us and the world we inhabit." - Peter Marigold Born in London 1974, Marigold followed a path from sculpture at Central Saint Martins, London into theatrical and event scenography where he gained a broad range of making skills. In 2005 Marigold joined the M.A. Design Products (Platform Ten) course at the Royal College of Art, London under Ron Arad and since then has concentrated almost solely on furniture. He was awarded an Esmee Fairbairn bursary following his graduate exhibition at the Design Museum, London and his show with the British Council as one of the Great Brits at the Milan (Italy) Furniture Fair 2007 was followed by an invitation to create an entire installation for Paul Smith in Milan and then further work with Paul Smith in London. Working with both galleries and manufacturers, Marigolds work continues to be exhibited in the UK and abroad including the Milan Furniture fair, Design Miami, Stavanger 2008 (Norway), and MoMA New York. In 2009 he was awarded one of the four Designer of the Future awards by Design Miami, followed by a significant installation at Art Basel. Recently Marigold has shown with Murray Moss in New York and during Design Miami in December and at 21_21 Design Sight in Tokyo. During the London Design Festival 2012 Marigold completed several major installation projects for Bloomberg, the Museum of Childhood and Oyuna (Mongolian Cashmere).
