Vehicles and Parts

I am fascinated with old forgotten vehicles. Parts and pieces, I love them all. I love the shiny patina of aging paint, the invasion of rust on exposed areas and durability of each models unique characteristics. Often they are hiding amid an overgrown stand of trees and shrubs, but the glimmer of chrome will draw me in and there I will meet the proud gaze of a headlight or the vacant stare of an empty socket. I scout their exteriors for a telltale symbol proclaiming their model and origin. I search the interiors ignoring the sagging moldy upholstery and study the console for stages of technology. I dream about the past and create scenarios of who drove and loved this vehicle and how it became stowed away hidden amongst the weeds. my work is the result of studying these old relics. I want to celebrate their existence and offer a memorial to their service.
