ASTROMOPRH
WES PEDEN
Pulp geometry from Throwtopia.
Currently in the early research and exploration phase, Wes Peden’s new work is a celebration of shapes, speed, proportions, weight, friction, and the calm moment of suspension at the apex of its upward journey when a ball freezes mid-air.
Following the high-speed, theme park-inspired world of Rollercoaster (2021), Astromorph shifts toward a more surreal, geometry-kaleidoscopic world of intricate, rich, and progressive manipulation.

US-born and now living in France, Wes Peden uses the skills he has honed from the age of five to twist gravity into the most beautiful knots physics will allow. He has been voted the world's most popular juggler in the Top 40 Jugglers poll ten times and holds numerous world records. His energetic, complex, and playful juggling style has won him awards from the International Juggling Association and the festival Cirque de Demain. He takes inspiration from Sumo wrestling, fast-food packaging and 1950s playgrounds.
