Peter Klett is an artist based in Washington State, USA.

Through video, photography, sound, and woodworking, my work reflects on the layered ambiguities of our relationships—with ourselves, those around us, the things we carry, and the environments we inhabit—and how these entanglements guide and complicate our search for meaning.

During my residency, I began working on a short video titled An Apprenticeship in Unknowing, which unfolded through impressionistic imagery, field recordings, and improvised music—all captured in and around the studio. Shaped by an attentiveness to embodied perception and the shifting nature of memory, the work invites viewers along a series of sensory vignettes where clarity gives way to presence and unknowing becomes its own form of attention.

Running alongside this work were regular spoon-carving sessions with my fellow residents, which became an integral counterpoint. These moments came to ground my days in the studio, acting as a medium for apprehension to be chipped away and for new ideas to quietly accumulate.

Thank you to my hosts Kris and Lukas; to everyone in and around the town of Stöðvarfjörður; and to my fellow residents Adele, Elise, Fien, Lulu, Marina, and Naomi. I am humbled by your kindness and generosity.
