Aaron McPeake (*1965) is an Irish sculptor, who works with numerous media from bronze casting to film, photography and sound. In 2002, Aaron McPeake had to abandon a long career in stage lighting design due to the loss of most of his eyesight. He returned to arts education and practice on a full time basis and received a first class honors degree in Arts, Design and Environment from Central Saint Martins (2005). His work places emphasis on the possibility for many types of readings and he views the process of making artwork as akin to writing poetry – where the visual imagination is integral to both its making and reception. Although he is registered blind, the emphasis in touch and sound in his work is not intended to act as a replacement or to compensate for the visual sense. It is more about enhancing the experience of those who encounter it, his work provides novel opportunities for haptic exploration. In 2011 he won the Cass Sculpture Prize with his bell bronze works: Some Cuts Resonate and in 2013 McPeake was commissioned by Camden Arts Centre, London.
