UNIQUE is how I would describe Jack Stekelenburg's work. Here's how Jack, himself, describes his sculpture: "I see a piece of scrap metal and visualize how it will someday be a vital component of a unique sculpture."
His solo show opened last evening at Brush Strokes at 129 Bridge Street in Carleton Place to a steady stream of act aficionados.

The location for this display is superb with a variety of backgrounds including an apropos brick wall and several light-coloured walls with shelves of interesting objects. A good point-counter-point.
Prices range from $35 for smaller pieces, $850 for
medium-sized pieces such as Big Mouth and $1,500 for larger pieces such
as The Farm and Rock the
Cradle.
