Made mostly from recycled shovels, this mask is formed by two shovels cut and welded to create a rabbit like face. As with all my masks, I had no idea what would emerge when I responded to the possibilities of fitting two shovels together. The ears were the leftover shovel parts. I assembled the nose from torque converter parts. The "glasses" showed up at the transmission shop where I get my parts. I have no idea what purpose they perform in a car. The mustache is a spring from a manual clutch. "DOC" is an illusion to Bugs Bunny.

Though I trained in Ceramics, I had exposure to sculpture while in art school and after many years as a ceramicist, I moved into sculpture exploring mediums until I discovered car parts, welding and shovels. It's been downhill ever since. During my car part exploration, I was also a transportation activist. I discovered car parts in Maine in 2005, moved to Watertown, NY in 2009, to Kingston, Ontario in 2011 and Fort Erie Ontario in 2020. My art career has consisted of solo shows, grants for community based art and schools and an art activity printing t-shirts with car parts and tires that I presented at festivals, art centres and schools. I currently have some gallery representation, but am mostly going the on-line sales route.
