Peter is a prophetic visionary. He is a lover, enthusiast and protector of mother Earth when we are destroying her as rapidly as we can. He detests “biopower,” wherein the whole of life is evaluated in monetary terms. In a world of labels, and nationalistic pride and fears, and division, his gospel is an inclusive gospel wherein we are all loved and included at the table. All of us messy people. Nor does he shy away from pain, for he knows firsthand of brokenness and the scars of alienation we all carry.
You can’t stand still and look and think, oh, isn’t that beautiful? His art does more than capture a moment in time. There is movement in the paintings—the camels marching onward in the desert, the movement from room to room in our secret lives, the emergence of life from the clay of earth, the shattering of life, our aspirations on earth as a dance upon the Creator. They are timeless– in the search for peace making, (such a desperate attempt globally and locally)—in the challenge of privilege based on race—in the abuse of power.
Pete’s art is his scream. It is a plea to engage, to wake up and shake off complacency, to take a stand, to care for the “other.”
