While shooting at an abandoned warehouse, I came across the painted concrete base of a lamppost which had been painted multiple times and then abandoned to the vagaries of decomposition--irresistible to me. I had masks and skeletons with me for the shoot, no easy task carrying it all on my scooter. Moudit seemed appropriate for this shot since, to me, he is the most enigmatic of my masks. I create sculptural constructions either at my studio or as in this case, remotely and then take photographs of them The title came to me later as the yellow paint reminded me of sulfur dioxide. The mask is made from car parts with a rust and sanded paint finish. The skeleton is made from small car parts including flattened windshield wiper assembly parts. The lamppost is courtesy of an abandoned Beer Store building.

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.
