Teaching boys to be men 2008

I continue to be interested in shared experiences and shared nostalgia. This is a refurbished pellet gun which represents an early rite of passage. It’s a personal piece which many people won’t immediately relate to but I wanted to take an object which is inherently childish and mature at the same time and enhance those elements even more by presenting it in sophisticated materials and finishes and include a message that is very clearly delivered to someone perhaps too immature to handle the responsibility. The metal components were found and chromed, the stock is hand-carved maple with laser-etched details.
