Description
Cut by hand from a real Vermont license plate into the shape of the state. This photo frame features a size for a 3 “x 5” photo. I produce the aluminum backing plate that holds the photo. It has metal tabs that keep the photo in place allowing for easy install or photo change. The back plate has a hole for hanging and small rubber feet to keep it securely positioned on the wall. All edges are filed and smooth to the touch.
Artist Statement about Photo frame:
“We are drivin’ down that road to ruin.” James Taylor, Traffic Jam.
I have always had a passion for automobiles. My original artwork examines the love/hate relationship automotive consumerism forces us all to experience. Above all I ask myself how can something which has such strongly influenced the design of our landscape while at the same time incurring major environmental degradation become our present way of life?
Between all the negative impacts automobiles have on our present day society and the rose-colored nostalgic car memories we hold dearly such as family vacations, first kisses, or just cruising around with friends with your first taste of freedom, my work chooses to focus on the conflict between both ends of the spectrum.
The state, date, numbers and letters all are ripe with associations. They become familiar icons and everyone has their own experiences. I choose to use license plates as my main medium to express the melancholy feeling I hold about the automobile.
I am compelled to produce my work and I create a very personal view using common objects. Scavenging materials, drawing, photography, painting, sculpting, wood & metal working, buying, collecting and wrecking toys are all part of my non-traditional creative process. Above all I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy putting it out there. Commissions are always welcome. Thank you.
