Chainsaw, blades, spoons, Volkswagen bumper, plate steel, crushed stainless water bottles and an absence of dignity.

The last of the "Clearcut Series".

“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.”
