Colorful Bumpers Sculpture

I wanted to stop buying art materials to make things and make use of discarded material, found objects, items from dumpsters at car body shops: these places offered me free materials with which to work and at the same time these items did not go to landfills. Ii admired Chakaia Booker's work with tires but I like color, so bumpers painted with metallic paints were perfect. Bumpers also were already very sculptural and were highly designed. I could cut them easily with a jigsaw and assemble them with special screws that went in and did not come out (like a fish hook) and the parts could move/swivel. Car parts are significant because the auto industry used to employ many but with robots, they took away many jobs from people. Cars are the biggest contributors to green house gasses and climate change. My work has always been about intimacy, and these bumper pieces speak to the Anthropocene period and people's relationship with Earth.
