Creativity
Peter has recreated an artist’s studio space, which has been populated with some tools of the trade, as well as some of his previous works. As you encounter sculptures, paintings, and drawings, you may wish to think about how you express your own creativity, and what this means to you. As Peter display’s his artist’s existential view of humanity, you may wish to think about your own.
The artworks on display have been selected from Peters's vast artistic output over the past 25 years, and showcase different elements of artist practice that Peter has undertaken.

DNA Structure
In The Well, you’ll see a steel structure in the shape of a double helix, with moving coloured neon lights. This installation represents Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the molecule chains that coil to form the double helix. The double helix carries the genetic information for all living things.
Peter Walker created this artwork, especially for installation inside sacred spaces. He is asking, you the viewer, to question topics such as science and faith and how the two subjects philosophically intertwine.
