Forgotten for years, this old truck has fallen victim to a misshapen cylinder block, exhausted pistons, broken brakes, tired wheels, rust, rips, and ruptures. It awaits to be rediscovered with patient anxiety. But now, it is preserved forever within the confines of pigments, oils, canvas and its own legacy. My ìForgottenî series is a metaphor for all of the hard-working people who have toiled to create the backstory for these images; the machinists, the factory workers, the engineers, the fabricators, the painters, the designers, the builders, the inspectors, the managers and more. Plus, I wish to honor those who have utilized and maintained these items for months, years or decades before age and technology changed the direction of their sustainability. I hope that you will take a moment to acknowledge ALL who have helped form this subject's soul, this image, and your memories.
