A vehicle is supposed to light the way ahead and signal its presence to those behind. Adams shifts Auto Lamp's original functionality to a kind of lighthouse on land, or for this occasion, an oversized lamp for night owls. Placed on a rotating display, the Auto Lamp is signaling in place guiding the viewer to both stay and go. Turn off the car, turn on the light. Turning 360º, the road's line is revised to a slow whirl, a traffic circle of light. Adams' work frequently involves vehicles, but often his sculptural intervention is additive, the vehicle outgrows its bounds and becomes a bemusing behemoth. Staging a surplus of scenes colliding in a multitude of scales, the resulting sculptures are pure excess. Auto Lamp suggests a new direction for Adams, here the process of subtraction he employs similarly produces an excess, but of the immaterial. Light beams puncture the auto's body and pour out in all directions — the patterned pores of all sizes create a mesmerizing decorative display. The vehicle's consistency is compromised, it's barely there, it's more holes than whole.

Kim Adams currently lives in rural Ontario. He is a "process-oriented" artist who manipulates pop cultural artefacts, i.e. found objects to create miniature worlds and buildings. This internationally known contemporary Canadian artist manufactures inexplicable structures often influenced by architectural accidents. He has shown his work nationally and internationally since 1978.

2016 (Dodge) Ram 1500 2WD Pickup (3.0 litre V6 diesel) by Graham Woodward

That's a big pickup truck, but only 2-wheel drive! It's a fourth generation model (2009 onwards) - the Ram Trucks brand was separated from Dodge in 2010. I think it's a Crew Cab model.

Island Lake boat landing by Don Lepper

The landing near the Minnesota POwer damn. This was taken on the openner of Minnesota Deer season. Ross and I did not deer hunt but we went for a nice drive through the woods and did some road hunting for grouse and then we stopped at a few different rivers and lakes and did some fishing.
