About this artwork
HUSK to some degree came out of the artist's background in pottery. Having used molds commonly for his clay work, the artist created a wood "mold" for this piece allowing him to work from the outside in. This meant that the low relief surface was built up by layering recycled car parts into the mold. This process kept the welding hidden. The final layer was recycled olive oil cans (you can see the printed sides of them on the back of the piece).…
A central void was included, which once the artist removed the piece form the mold, he felt should be something complex and colourful. The artist chose an aluminum valve body from an automatic transmission for the complexity and the pattern was enhanced through colour. Husk actually is fairly light weight, but gives the impression of great mass.

« 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.
