Raku and fireclay stoneware, mason stains, underglazes, glazes, wood, toy metal jets (Top plate turns slowly on mechanical turnstyle)

Glorification of weapons/violence/war. A janus of Uncle Sam and Osama Bin Laden, Manhattan and Kabul that turns slowly on a column of automatic weaons and shipwrecked refugees. A monument to stubborn refusal to connect cause and effect. Instead to be told we have “weaponized empathy”.

Additional soundtrack of George W. Bush’s “mission accomplished” speech distorted and mixed over a “call to jihad”.
