James R Ford is a multi-media artist
currently based in London, England. For this project, initiated
in 2003, he aims to transform a second-hand Ford Capri into the General
Lee, from Dukes of Hazzard, by covering it in little toy cars in
the appropriate colours (mainly red and orange). Ford is going to
need around three to four thousand and so, in addition to searching
out and purchasing appropriate toy cars himself, an appeal has been
started for people all over the world to send him their disused toy
cars. The donator can leave a little message in the toy car, or mark
it in some way, so they actually become part of the art whilst contributing
to the sculpture and thus creating a global art collaboration.
The General Carbuncle sculpture was completed in October 2006. A big thank you to all that assisted, donated toy cars, or provided funding.
