After his first love's of music and philosophy resulted in a decade of stage-hand work at the Sydney Opera House, Peter realised his creative outlet in the end wasn't the ephemeral arts, but carpentry and craft.
What has followed has been an eventful career as a furniture maker, both doing commissions and as workshop manager for The Bower - a Sydney not for profit focused on principles of reuse and repair.
Having recently moved to Adelaide, Peter has stationed himself at The Mill to now focus on his flower punk lamps: A series inspired by the permaculture movement, by taking their principles and methodology in the garden and applying it to art and craft. These lamps, made from mostly repurposed materials, will illuminate on the theme of our two great solar powers - greenery (photosynthesis) and human labour.
Key to Peter's philosophy is that it will be from the arts that we can find the subtle knowledge necessary to redress our societies in the face of climate change.
