Description:
'In "The Neighbours Fence", Peter Newell Price (…) de-functionalises a commonplace, even mundane domestic feature and invests it with a kind of sculptural formalism. By raising a fence onto the gallery wall, what is generally regarded as an object which promotes and encourages communication, friendship or gossip, has become a self-imposed barrier, offering security but no comfort.'
