David
Buckingham roams the windblown alleys, abandoned factories, gritty industrial
areas, dodgy neighborhoods, and low deserts of Southern California in search
of the cast away, the discarded, the forgotten: old 55-gallon barrels, wheelbarrows,
tool boxes, road signs, tractor parts, car doors, gas cans, etc. These battered
relics are carted to a dusty studio in downtown Los Angeles where they are
muscled into works of art with a bewildering array of power tools and sheer
force of will. All colors are original as found; David Buckingham is no
painter. |
