About this artwork
DOC is a response to juxtaposed recycled shovels. The artist finds the curves and details of shovels to work well for masks. As he worked the shapes and wanting to experiment with using all the shovel --utilizing the parts cut off--the artist found that the cast offs could humourously, make ears. The details followed from the connection to cartoon rabbits and with the addition of glasses and mustache the mask became the personification of "Doc'"…
The parts the artist uses have a history, that history is reflected in some of the surfaces, the artist chooses to let this history show, sometimes as paint, scores or even concrete residue on some of the shovel blades.

« I strive for the directness of children with the sensibilities of an adult. I want as little separation as possible between myself and the creative process. »
Jeff Mann is an award-winning sculptor based in Canada whose works have been exhibited both nationally and in the United States. He describes his intuitive based artistic process as eschewing narrative or representation and being environmentally based. Unlike abstract or intuitive art, Mann's work often centers around the car and computers, which he believes define our culture. His diverse compositions are created using a variety of materials which include steel and aluminum.
