InQuarries is a response to a visit I made to gravel pits in rural Ontario in 2010. It is a

hidden world, encircled by landscaped burns that block the public’s view. In the gravel

pit itself, men were moving gravel around with trucks and loaders like children playing

in a big sandbox. My work unveils this hidden world and plays with this idea by painting

large scale pails and shovels and other toys into the scene. The result provides a

comment on scale and innocence.
