Some of the CONSTRUCTION series are not created in the studio, but are constructed on a site that seems particularly interesting to me. I took the mask, MOUDIT with an accompanying skeleton to an abandoned warehouse and shot MOUDIT against a worn concrete wall. It is the feeling of depth and the indicators of a history in the concrete that interested me. All the CONSTRUCTION series are based on my masks which are constructed from car parts. MOUDIT's finish is a mix of sanded paint and rust. The skeleton was formed from flattened windshield wiper assemblies and other odd car parts. Shooting on site is a bit difficult; I load all the components, camera and tripod onto my scooter and in my backpack, pray for the weather to cooperate and that it not get too windy.

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.
