Figuring out what else your VCR can be sometimes requires a little surgery. I hate throwing things out while there is a chance of further use in them. Everyday technology contains so much intricate material. Creating the illusion of motion, life, and character is essential in my work. Like each of a paintings brush strokes, each piece is important to the final look. Small details help build character. The curve on a typewriter gear could complete the devious crook in a mouth if placed correctly. My final goal is to make you believe that the mass of metal you are looking at could come to life at any moment. April will herald the first showing of "Trapped" - a series of scrap metal sculptures named after things that entrap us. Jobs, Love, Poverty, Illness, and Addiction will all be personified in humanoid form, given Latin names, and then nailed to a metal plate.
