Parts
Auto Salvage Drawings / 2014-2017
Parts is a series of drawings inspired by "u-pull" auto salvage yards. The work focuses on the stripped automobiles - their forms, structures, broken sections and fragmented parts.
All drawings are Conte crayon on Duralar.
A book is available containing reproductions of over 100 drawings from the series and an essay by Christopher Atkins, Curator of Exhibitions & Public Programs at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Click here for more information.
This project was funded in part by an Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.
