This metal insect-like mask is formed of car gas tanks and part of a shovel. i wanted the construction of the masks to show in the multiple welds used to reshape the gas tank. Keeping the features simple allows the structure of the face to dominate. I find the shapes in shovels to be quite exquisite, here I removed all the shovel, but the shank and the very top of the blade where the steel is folded over.

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.
