This rust patined metal portrait is a modern urban interpretation of a classical Greek mask. I started with an eyes/nose combination made from a torque converter and part of a shovel. At that stage, the expression of the mask began to emerge. That partial face accepted or rejected the options I offered it; the severe lines of an oil pan worked well.[...]
This rust patined metal portrait is a modern urban interpretation of a classical Greek mask. I started with an eyes/nose combination made from a torque converter and part of a shovel. At that stage, the expression of the mask began to emerge. That partial face accepted or rejected the options I offered it; the severe lines of an oil pan worked well. After much cutting and shaping the final face emerged. LAUGHING MANN is a theatrical metal wall sculpture made from recycled auto parts.

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.
