The digital images in this series metaphorically reference the basic American constitutional 'right' to carry and use weapons. The accessibility of such weapons results in an enormous number of gun related incidents.

I use the conceptual, symbolic and formal possibilities of guns and their component parts, barrels, chambers, bullets, to explore and question ideas and fantasies that are attached to dangerous objects.
