This is one in a series of posts featuring an artist whose work is included in the Threads of Resistance exhibition.
Artist’s Statement:
Guns and gun violence have intruded into our daily lives. Nowhere is
safe. Mass shootings, violence against women and “accidental” deaths of
children by unsecured guns is rampant. Gun rights enthusiasts want guns
everywhere – schools, churches, parks, theaters. And gun rights politicians refuse
to let the CDC study gun violence as a major health problem. My question is
“WHY?” Why do we need guns everywhere? Why guns in schools? Why guns at the
grocery, in the workplace, at the movies, on playgrounds? Why?
