Process

The inspiration for this series arrived somewhat by happenstance. I was moving an overloaded bin of salvaged metal from one side of my workshop to the other; naturally, the topmost layer slid off like snow in an avalanche, scattering oblong pieces of rescued scrap – cookie tins, serving platters, coffee cans and road signs – across the floor. I took in the beauty of this unexpected mess: all different colors and shapes intermingled and overlapping, moving together towards the door like they had someplace to be. It struck me that each of these pieces of material could represent a distinct creature in an elegant herd, and as I took a pair of tin snips to the first one I grabbed, the Western Pack Series was born.

Each piece of antique metal - from vintage tea tin to salvaged barn siding - was collected from an abandoned space throughout the western landscape. I have gleaned old barns, abandoned ranch houses, and forgotten hunting camps deep in the woods to collect the salvaged materials used in this work. Each individual creature in this grid was cut from a distinct piece of ephemera, which carries its own history and story.
