ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I found the sledge hammer head at the metal recycling depot. I believe it was an old railway sledge. It was very well used and "hammered", very beautiful and I could relate to its history as I could relate to its pounded features on many levels. I found an old well used wedge and put the two similar objects together and then carved a figure out of steel climbing the wedge. It is a redemption narrative of carrying on under difficult conditions!

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
