A former employee of the Recycle City Waste Disposal & Recovery Centre in Hamilton, Broox found creative outlets to cope with the often repetitive, assembly line labour of sorting and evaluating glass bottles by focusing on the movements, rhythms and musicality of the plant itself. For Art S.E.A.L.S., the audience is invited to learn his coping strategies, as a new version of the assembly line is re-created in the gallery.
