This is an ongoing project which I began while living in Mexico. I was unable to bring my power tools with me, so I began working in a smaller scale and became very attracted to the unique character and shape of the used brick-layers’ trowels found at the local flea markets. I am tranferring my drawings backed in gold leaf onto the face of the trowels. The work is site-specific and can employ as many as 50 trowels. The obvious metaphor suggests the labors involved in building a life.
