Commissioned by the Department of Psychology, Cardiff University with
support form Artworks Wales, situated on the Tower lecture theater,
Park Place. In Peter's words " Pattern recognition is a powerful
characteristic of the human mind and, over the years, I have explored
the oundaries of our ability to 'read' pattern by combining order and
randomness in a series of 2d works. I have also long been interested
in how the human imagination loves to conjure with symmetrical patterns
and have made much work which explores this phenomenon. I liked the
idea of incorporating a number of different kinds of cognitive
illusions in one artwork. Th most obvious cognitive game to play given
the nature of the architecture is symmetry. By mirroring an image on
both walls (Rorschach style) the full effect of the pattern would only
become apparent when standing directly outside the entrance".
