My wife and I had a show at the Manx Pub in Ottawa in 2000. She came up with the title of the show: “Superfly Nail Emporium” which I still love. The title combined the two themes of the show: her fly boxes (which sold well) and my nail artworks.

So I made a number of small nail pieces, and the rolling pin and nails was included in the show.  I remember having fun, although it was tricking, hammering the nails over as if the rolling pin had smoothed them out.  Visually, I was happy with how this one turned out.

This piece sold and now belongs to a private collector.
