David Walker Barker is an artist and collector with a long-standing
interest in landscape environments. He is a lecturer in the School of
Design at the University of Leeds, and exhibits both nationally and
internationally. His artwork and associated research is concerned with
diverse aspects of landscape environments and has developed, in part,
through fieldwork carried out at a variety of locations. Interest in
aspects of geology and landscape evolution developed whilst at the
Royal College of Art and has continued as a significant preoccupation
providing reference points for a range of artworks including paintings,
drawings, painted constructions and cabinets. These identify a
fascination for land surface and the structural complexity of geological
contexts, associated processes and their concealed dimensions. A
central focus relates to the intersection of geological and human
histories and their industrial and cultural impact upon landscape forms.
