The Challenge
Contemporary sculpture, Indigenous cultural material and historic three-dimensional objects often combine timber, metals, glass, textiles, stone, plastics and natural materials within a single work. Each material deteriorates differently, making successful conservation dependent on understanding how they interact.
Our Approach
Andrew and Victoria Pearce work collaboratively, combining expertise in conservation science, engineering, textiles, glass, metals, timber, electronics, electrical and audiovisual systems and large technology to develop treatments for complex three-dimensional objects. Every project begins by identifying the most vulnerable materials and systems, ensuring that conservation decisions protect the object as a whole rather than one component in isolation.
Whether caring for contemporary multimedia sculpture, Indigenous cultural material, religious objects or historic artefacts, Endangered Heritage assembles the right combination of conservation skills to ensure each object receives the expertise its materials demand.
Outcomes
Because no two objects — and no two combinations of materials — are ever the same.
Every significant heritage challenge begins with a conversation.
We advise a small number of institutions each year. If you are facing a challenge that demands strategic thinking, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss it.
