Biography:

Peter Abrams was born in 1961 in New York City, NY. While studying Entomology and Architecture at Cornell University from 1979 to 1981, he lived at Ecology House, an environmentally responsible residence. In the early nineties, he founded and acted as CEO of GroundScore Productions, LLC, a Brooklyn-based company dedicated to the reuse of industrial materials. While in Brooklyn, he started working with reclaimed wire rope which continues to be a driving force in his work to this day. After creating sculpture at the Johnson Atelier, Peter then moved his operations to Trenton, NJ. In 2003, he started The Allen St. Project, renovating a 10,000 square foot former sign factory (which was slated for demolition) into a vibrant arts manufacturing facility. It is there where he currently continues his own work, while acting as mentor and supervisor for both the internship and apprenticeship programs. Peter is devoted to working with recycled materials with the goal of creating within the parameters of the planet, enabling its inhabitants to live safely, comfortably, and contentedly.
