For whatever reason, I am fascinated by the way tar breaks down which is really part of my fascination with the way nature is always working at turning our fabricated materials to dust. Here, the mask, MOUDIT made from recycled car parts and finished with rust and sanded paint is paired with a skeleton made from smaller car parts including flattened windshield wiper blades. They are assembled in the parking lot of an abandoned warehouse. Fort Erie, Ontario where I live has lots of abandoned structures and places including an airport So I have a rich palette to work with. I work mostly with car parts as I think there are far too many cars in the world.

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.
