Sculptures in the construction series usually have 3 parts: a mask, a skeleton and a background layered sculpture. Here MOUDIT is the mask. Quite enigmatic MOUDIT's presence changes with different backgrounds; here he is fierce to me, the background being rather US patriotic. The skeleton is made from flattened windshield wiper parts and clutch pieces. [...]
Sculptures in the construction series usually have 3 parts: a mask, a skeleton and a background layered sculpture. Here MOUDIT is the mask. Quite enigmatic MOUDIT's presence changes with different backgrounds; here he is fierce to me, the background being rather US patriotic. The skeleton is made from flattened windshield wiper parts and clutch pieces. The central component in this sculpture and the one that I initially responded to is an interior panel from a car door. The steel is extensively worked. I used paint to highlight the indentations in the panel. I approach working with car parts by responding to them rather than imposing my will on them. Narration/representation may ultimately be part of the work, but it arrives late in the creative process.

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.
