Creating a work of art in response to a political/historical event is an interesting challenge. I wanted to respond to the kind of insane violence on January 6th by creating a sculpture that has a fractured form rather than a unified one. I had all the pieces of Osage Orange I had re-sawn already. I had an idea to create pieces that were sewn together and floating. The broken glass of the windows in the picture I took off of the TV was an opportunity to use those pieces. My biggest fear is that the sculpture will be misinterpreted as somehow glorifying that event. Which is ironic, since even when I was working on the piece months after January 6th I would feel almost nauseous and sad.
