This is part of the chainsaw series. The chainsaw is a very rural Canadian icon and contains an allegory of removing nature and consequently, culture (particularly among the First Nations!) I've re-contextualized the chainsaw to represent animals and birds in this case, recreating nature and recycling the object to dually renew the obsolete object from landfill and recreate a new conceptual experience for the viewer.

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
