ABOUT TO BE OBLITERATED (ATBO) started with a mask, LEOPARD. The mask started with a response to the beautiful aluminum parts in an automatic transmission and the response eventually grew into a leopard. Far from being "found" art, I work my materials extensively, in this case, taking two similarly shaped parts, making identical cuts in each to form the face, I then sliced them to make them thinner, ground the surface down on the edges to "soften" the look and painted and sponged them to accent the texture. The background is one of my layered metal sculptures made from manual clutch parts and the skeleton is a mix of smaller car parts including flattened windshield wiper blades.

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.
