ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Automakers knew 50 years ago about car emissions - and got rid of trains in the US. With ubiquitous robots in the workplace and resulting unemployment there is huge unemployment, poverty and inequality. With formal art education I was a figurative painter but had to stop painting pretty pictures. Artist have the responsibility to depict the times and reflect what is going on in society. Landfills are full of overproduced goods so I repurpose car parts otherwise headed for landfills. Science got us here; it can find the solution. Problem is, corporations and politicians collaborate with the 1% to establish regulations and decode who builds what, how.

I used to be a figurative painter but recently decided I couldn’t continue making pretty pictures given what is going on in the world. It’s artists’ responsibility to reflect the times and speak out. Given the overproduction of things, I repurpose plastic car parts, sheet metal, etc., and regularly go to dumpsters. My work is about sustainability, consumerism, robots in industry (with resulting unemployment, inequality, poverty), and climate change, about a society that prioritizes profit with a total disregard for the environment and all life on Earth. The repurposed pieces are a tribute to people’s ingenuity, engineering feats, ability to imagine, design and build. I aim to provoke reflection/discussion about major social issues, to create with repurposed objects aesthetically stimulating, thought provoking, beautiful pieces that deal with serious, dire issues.
