About this artwork
The power of manipulated recycled auto parts is demonstrated in this steel portrait of a tribal leader. The artist altered a manual clutch housing to create a deep set eye and brow formation and powerful cheekbone shapes. The existing punches at the edge of the housing are enhanced by the addition of clutch springs making a fringe for the mask. The power of the piece is further enhanced by the rusted patina finish. While primitive, this wall sculpture…
mask also reflects an urban post-industrial character.
