Development and history of ubiquitous, now almost obsolete device has paralleled issues surrounding use of automobiles and their impact on urban culture. In the film Cool Hand Luke, the pivotal character (Paul Newman) is sentenced to a southern US chain gang for destroying a parking meter. Complications to his situation ultimately ends with his death. Worldwide, the use of space for autos and their dominant role in contemporary culture has intensified and contributed to social friction and physical and visual changes in the landscape. cf: Exhibitions Page link: 2007 Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery, Waterloo, On., Canada Installation exhibited in London, Toronto, Waterloo, and Montreal (Canada)
