Rust coloured, PHARAOH is formed from recycled car parts. As with many of the artist's masks, PHARAOH started with an eye (torque converter) and nose (exhaust pipe) combination. Manipulated gas tanks were added to both the top and bottom creating a shape that reminded of the artist of ancient Egyptian statuary. Though the artist uses "found" objects, the objects may only survive partially after being cut and recut, bent, ground, welded and hammered to fit the mask's personality.

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.
