Comet showers are the “Jimi Hendrix” of star gazing, a stunning flash in a distant world. It made me work to get my Jackson Pollack solder splatter to work on this tricky canvas.


Any and all objects can be used to create something, to make and re-make what I find in the world. The process requires searching for the materials that will commit me to original work, and intimately connect me to a self-engendered vision.

“To me, garbage and waste are just a lack of imagination.”

Peter Mcfarlane

Peter McFarlane is a conceptually driven sculptor and mixed media artist known for transforming discarded objects into philosophically charged artworks. Working with obsolete circuit boards, broken tools, and cast-off industrial debris, he re-contextualizes everyday materials to explore waste, value, and imagination. His award-winning works are held in public and private collections across Canada and internationally.

Artist Statement

“I am a conceptually based sculptor and mixed media artist. Most of my materials are discarded or obsolete objects—circuit boards, broken tools, industrial scrap—that arrive already loaded with history. I reorganize and reconstruct these fragments to free them from their previous functions and open them to new meaning. For me, garbage and waste are simply a lack of imagination; each object has the potential to become a metaphor. In re-using these materials, I’m not solving the problem of waste, but I am symbolically slowing it down and asking viewers to reconsider what, and who, we throw away.”
