What do you mean, I ain’t kind?
Oh look. It’s a dollar sign made out of bullets. How clever! The artist must be making some kind of statement. Humm… I know! It’s about the connection between money and warfare. Do you get it? Do you fucking get it!?
Shown Not Shown above: Joe Gee’s Explorations. Gee has another sculpture with the word “PEACE” spelled out in bullets. Hahahahaha oh the irony!

But what if it was made up of empty shells that were actually used in war, picked up and saved by a non American soldier who secretly wants to be an artist… would that have been better?

Hi Rg,
Yes of course. Then it would have been a deeply poingnet statement of despair and hope and the transcendent power of art to beat swords into plowshares.
Cheers,

thing is it hasn’t been done.(you should see it in gold) there are 20 sculptures all together including human forms…they will show in “SCULPTURE” magazine(& 18 other publications) in full page ads as sociopolitical statements beginning in april, over the next year and a half. look it up smart ass! furthermore you’ve altered my image, are violating copyright and haven’t asked permission to post it as such.
