Abstract: After several unsuccessful attempts at changing my approach to painting, I recalled an old carburetor that I had noticed among some pieces of sculpture at a friend's house in California. When I asked about the carburetor, the owner remarked that it was one of her favorite objects and as deserving of appreciation as any other three-dimensional form. Remembering the carburetor motivated me to consider machine parts in my work. I developed an appreciation for the unique character of mass produced parts while selecting pieces from tons of scrap metal; and, since I wanted color in whatever evolved with the parts, I painted several of them with combinations of high gloss enamels. At first I conceived a relief construction consisting of the painted metal objects arranged on a plywood support; however. Will Insley suggested that a three-dimensional form might be more effective.
