Abstract
The artist's statement: "In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed"-Charles Darwin. I make sculpture that look at human interactions in a critical and satirical manner. With the hope that my audience will think more about the effects of their actions on nature and each other. I want to shine a light on political and societal issues, like military policing by the USA and the debate on gun rights, highlighting the implications of the choices individuals make on a global and personal scale. I do this by comparing mousetraps to handguns and turning the Afghanistan war into a drinking game. I use familiar iconography to present loaded political issues so that discourse can form around a subject.
