HIGH ROLLER is composed of 3 separate sculptures, the mask--LOCOLOBO, a skeleton and a large background sculpture. LOCOLOBO (aka EGON because he reminds me in certain constructions of Schiele), a skeleton constructed of flattened windshield parts, and, finally. two layers of an unfinished layered piece. The mask is constructed of car parts and finished with a variegated surface of sanded paint; the skeleton is finished similarly. The background is constructed of transmission filter housings and stators from torque converters. The yellow and black bits are valves from a transmission. I feel privileged to use these beautiful and complex parts. Using them, I feel requires responding to them rather than imposing my will on them.

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.
