ASTROMORPH

WES PEDEN

Maximalist juggling and joyful geometry

Using his inventive and maximalist juggling style, Wes Peden dives into a world of kites, spinning flowers, helicopters, and giant hands. Astromorph is pure juggling, where shapes, colours, and gravity are used to fill the sky with joyful and bombastic eye candy.

Inspired by the extravagance of Mexican wrestling and the collage work of Henri Matisse, Astromorph is a show of playful elegance where high-speed hands are used to capture the calm of a ball freezing at its apex.

This will be Peden’s 5th solo show after Volcano vs. Palm Tree, Zebra, Béton, and Rollercoaster. Astromorph shares the common goal of these previous works: to spread joy and inspire curiosity.
