Peter Millett was born in 1949 in Evanston, IL and received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1971. He has lived and worked in Seattle since 1973 where he has garnered a reputation as one of the city's premier sculptors. A seasoned traveler, Millett continues to draw inspiration from folk and tribal artforms seen on his extensive trips through South America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
My work, though spare, is not minimalist, but rather modern. I seek to distill emotional energy and experiences. I like my work to impact a space the way a melody can trigger a feeling or memory. Non-literal. . . non-verbal. –Artist statement
