Peter Wilkins is perhaps best known for his Kinetic Portraits of 12 Canadian Writers, which critically engaged twelve of Canada's notable and most celebrated authors, including Margaret Atwood, Douglas Coupland, Yann Martel and Jane Uruqhart. Originally exhibited at The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery in 2007 the entire suite was purchased by the Portrait Gallery of Canada in 2008.
Revcent projects include Gander International exploring the design and aesthetic of late 1950s modernism at Gander Airport, last year's stint as the inaugural artist-in-residence at Memorial University, Newfoundland, and recent work exploring the massive environs of the Churchill Falls Hydro Development.
