Here are two images of a recently finished sculpture that I've titled "Gun School," because I love how it reminds me of a group of fish swimming and I enjoy the play on words involved. What are squirt guns doing to those who play with them? Do they desensitize us to gun violence? Personally, I'm grew up playing with all kinds of toy guns and loved them...especially if it involved Nerf darts, and I've grown to enjoy firing all kinds of weaponry. But I'm also appalled at the number of gun violence incidents that have happened this year in my own city (one was just a few blocks away from my apartment). Are these toys that children grow up with and adore preparing them for something more menacing?
