"Pelt establishes spaces which exist somewhere and nowhere, the inhabitants of which seem of this world but also apart from it. The artist's balancing of the familiar and the strange has the effect of drawing in and repelling the viewer: unnervingly beautiful, the longer the works are looked at, the harder it becomes to drag the gaze away. The subjects of Pelt control the discourse and reconfigure pre-conceptions of gender, sexuality, aesthetics, representation." (Artist's statement)
