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.
