ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Painted on circuit boards, I re-ignited some of the circuits to achieve a light, especially when a gallery light is shone on it and it reflects the light. I also soldered coloured wires to create city light "imagery" like traffic and streets, dense concentrated light etc. This work began in the early 1990's when i was a computer sales consultant. The redundancy of the industry brought us back thousands of obsolete circuit boards and mother boards. I was determined to continue their life and started painting on them. My son was born around that time and I often had to work late and get my son to bed so the "night scape was the only landscape I saw! I think circuit boards are the perfect contemporary canvas! I have always envisioned myself as one of the lights "on" in the painting[, working late in my studio.

Peter McFarlane is an award winning artist, based on Salt Spring Island, whose work is in public and private collections nationally and internationally. Over his career he has worked in a wide variety of mediums particularly in the re-purposing of used objects. What connects all of his work is the re-contextualizing of obsolete everyday objects to create personal philosophies which he hopes will resonate with the viewer on a visceral and/or intellectual level and open up the possibility of a new conceptual experience. He believes waste is just a lack of imagination. He relies on long hours, landfill, personal experience, history, metal recycling and serendipity to make his art. Nationality is Canadian
