Tradesman Bronze

Created for Shell Canada's Art Refined - Turnaround Project

This sculpture won first prize in both the Overall and Craft Categories

Exhibited in the Art Refined Exhibition at the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton

December 2013

This piece depicts the importance of the work of trades people in our modern technological world and is a tribute to those who "make it happen". The skilled worker is the "Big Piece of the Puzzle". The spherical component being

received from a crane represents our technological world being carried by

highly skilled trades people. This important group is not often celebrated.

This is my visual ode to trades people.
