Peter Hutchinson (born 1930, London, England) is a British artist known primarily for his conceptual photography, land art, and narrative sculpture. He is often associated with the Earth Art movement of the late 1960s and 1970s.
Hutchinson's work frequently combines photography and text to explore themes of perception, time, ecology, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world. His early career involved experiments with painting and abstract sculpture before shifting toward more ephemeral and site-specific interventions.
Notable works include "Thrown Rope Piece" (1969), where he photographed the disintegration of a rope in the ocean, and "Ascended Glutinous Mass" (1972), a work involving bread mold. These pieces exemplify his interest in documenting natural processes of decay and transformation.
Hutchinson studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. He has exhibited extensively internationally, and his work is included in the collections of major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. He continues to live and work in New England.
