Its done and with time to spare




Bow Tie Bumper Daniel Durocher


With this piece I was interested in the process of making.
I was not interested in preliminary drawings or in controlled outcomes.
I did not exactly know where I was going and chose instead to let the material speak for its self.
In the process I let the unexpected things come from inside the material.
What became apparent in this piece of discarded bumper was a new use.
Maybe on some level it was because the truck that I was a passenger in hit so many birds on our trip from Edmonton to Yellowknife this fall.
Maybe it was the round hole on the section of the bumper that reminded me of a home for a bird.
Once I cut the section of bumper in two, it became apparent what it would be.
