Invested in the poetics of place, her work seeks to bring forth the relational nature of the world in which we live.  Peta is the recipient of a British Council Design Researcher Award and the Lomo Australia Award for Most Innovative Use of Photomedia, and her work is held in the Corbett Lyon & Yueji Lyon Collection of Contemporary Australian Art and the Arts Collection at The State Library of Victoria.  Her interest in craft is the result of the emphasis placed on it in her fine art imaging studies, it significance further revealed during her doctoral studies with its focus in part on Harris Tweed & the writings of Gottfried Semper.
