Using recycled auto parts and a shovel, I formed this recycled metal mask. The face is largely constructed from a single torque converter shell. I experimented with cutting, removing material, bending and welding a TC shell and eventually ended up with a face that needed the shovel addition to make it into a gorilla. Using the welder improperly I was able to make the large knots of weld that make up the design on the forehead. I layered on multiple coarts of paint and then sanded through them to get the marbleized surface.

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.
