Well it's been a priviledged and a stressful month or so, some beach huts for avrils home helped !

Everyone's on a journey we all live in the same space, to know just where we're going requires a leap of faith backed by cosmic intervention on a global scale, this must be the real thing it can't just be the brain !

"TERRAPLASTICA" (plastic bags, al, cu, cable, wooden frame) 44 / 50 cm
made for Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Environmental Art Award 2009.
bassed on painting below "what a load of rubbish" (oil on canvas) 31 /46 cm

Animal, Vegetable, Mineral once catergorized all within our view,
Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology have created some things anew,
Our World is filling up with plastic particles in our gadgets, homes and cars,
Greedily consuming we'll melt into a World called TERRAPLASTICA !

My painting of Space Sensation, with added animated spheres, balls as a bonus, not that it needs any!
It all ready describes the relationship between physical and mental worlds, dimensions perhaps you could call it, or realms of influence, connections and the relationship between Euclidean and Newtonian geometry / physics and Relativity, M Theory Fractals and Non Copenhagen Quantum Mechanics or perhaps it's all just Art and Science fun?

"The Dog is Speechless, The Finger is Pointless.( Not For Sale! )"
oil on canvas 68 / 60 cm

Either up or down
We can not know
Unless we commute

Too a quantum flow

Position and momentum
Dance together
To observe one

Effects the other

So how to know just where we are
Involves a jump on a quantum star
Cause and effect here takes a rest
Possible futures shape our present

You see all exists
In a quantum wave field
And all that is
Through this 'pops' real.

I received a letter from myself the other day.
What was this
Do I have another me ?
With writing habits so similee?
On opening the post it was clear
the envelope was indeed from me
via liverpool art academy,
to partake in new exhibition
"Alice in Wonderland"

I Wonder" oil on canvas 50 cm / 38 cm

You've just missed an exhibition at Gostins Arcade, Hanover Street, Liverpool by Will Simmons and myself, Peter Barker.

2008-06-28T13:46:00.005Z

This painting, "All Roads" oil on canvas 40 - 30 cm, was done with an eye on an art market at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Liverpool, scheduled for June 22, 2008,
Unfortunately the wind blew across the ' piazza' and the assembled artists work was blown into the wilderness and their trestle tables were tossed asunder like chafe in the wind, by 11.30 only a few remained. Fortunately my "art" shopping trolley was not greatly affected by gods angry wrath but the whole event was a 'blow out' as it were, thanks to the chap who bought a photocopy of Octopool and to the woman who purchased the weird dockside collage with the naked roman statues with whips and to the geezer who bought my dream It's Over There. By one o clock there were perhaps 4 of us left . by 2-30 I was in the pub.

Thanks, Joey, for getting me there and to Bill for getting rid of the shopping trolley!

Will Simmons and myself have an exhibition on at Gostins Buildings, Hanover Streel, Liverpool. only on for another week or so, so you'll have to go soon or it will be to late.

"IMMERSION" oil on canvas (name courtesy bill drennan.)

I sit indoors upon the floors stare at the walls and the walls stare back at me
I'm seeing sunshine I'm seeing colours fly where aint no colours should be.
Shadows on the floorboards patterns in the sea, light on far horizons, electrons in the knee.
there was a knee, it was a knee, a knee is all it was, it was a knee

"Octopool" oil on canvas 106cm-73 cm.

Hey You Humans what are you doing, sailing along and being so cruel.
You guys with the sticks are making me sick with your laziness, fear and greed.
You'll drag us all down with your false competitions and visions of wisdom.
The future is negative freedom, for the mass of the many
" just tow the line and don't dream."

Still in the library growing backwards, still waiting for a home broadband connection.

"Barallu." oil on canvas.
Close up of elemental aluminium

With so much space
Through which to stare
My gaze grows inwards

No one can reach this deep inside
And staring out the world goes by
And in this life I live within I have to laugh
I have to grin.

This is and is not me .
well my brain has felt some pain,
but i'm still here all the same
and yet a little changed considerably by age,
that happens so I hear, say" piss off future fear", cos it only brings despair, chuck out all your beliefs and loose that greedy streak, become your own sparkling peak or freak, who cares on our ways to where.

"Chance and Probability" oil on canvas 70cm by 90cm.

HELLO, from a Holographic reproduction of myself, bathed in my own internal radiation, communicating with myself at twice the speed of light. No wonder the World's so confusing.

Universal Moth
Sitting in last Saturday
painting pictures O so gay
A moth per chanced to find it's way into my living room
It fluttered, flipped, and flopped around
to settle eventually on the ground,
in this case my window pane,
(as any flying creature knows
the ground is where you place your toes)

I looked and stared, observed the creature picking up on all it's features. Four wings, an off white brown with darker patches spreading down, this appeared, at least to me, to resemble the trail left by DNA

Now picking up a wee paint brush
I decided to make my approach
So steadily with brush in hand I stroked it's head and all around,
With it's feelers it ALSO felt WE both experienced experience.
In peace and love we both then left,
It on wings and I on legs.

I'm just on my way to the Cunard Buildings at the Pier Head here in LIVERPOOL. I Have a Chance of exhibiting some of my paintings there and the probability seems better than average.

See if I can squeeze another painting in ?This particular Library computer won't let me get at my A drive, never mind, there's always tomorrow, probably, but then there's the day after etc etc SO Who knows what I KNOW NOTHING, but then there is no nothing.
Back again all went OK at the Cunard Buildings, looks like going to be part of a rolling Art project, exhibition leading up too 2008.

Th next, previous or surrounding pages contain words and images created by Peter Barker, hopefully you may enjoy some of them, GOOD if not never mind, I'm only painting pictures.

All pictures are for sale if not already sold, so why not make me an offer e-mail me,
