tools

The tools series was inspired as a portrait or even as a memorial of a man I never met. I had recently been invited to salvage what I could from the house of a friend's long-passed great uncle, Stanley Megio.

I sifted through the remains of the bounty of quirky man-made objects, novelties and countless tools. As I started organizing the tools on the floor of my studioto inventory my inheritance I discoverd that I was grouping and composing the tools; I was alchemizing into art this man's bric-a-brac.
