I was working on a show and using this old grinder to grind and polish the metal. I couldn't help but notice that the grinder resembled a whale. I built a fence and was using these spiral ardox nails which I finally decided to use as the tusk. It was simply a case of re-contextualizing objects to create something else.

Peter McFarlane is an award winning artist, based on Salt Spring Island, whose work is in public and private collections nationally and internationally. Over his career he has worked in a wide variety of mediums particularly in the re-purposing of used objects. What connects all of his work is the re-contextualizing of obsolete everyday objects to create personal philosophies which he hopes will resonate with the viewer on a visceral and/or intellectual level and open up the possibility of a new conceptual experience. He believes waste is just a lack of imagination. He relies on long hours, landfill, personal experience, history, metal recycling and serendipity to make his art. Nationality is Canadian
