Bar Code Gun Series
(1995 - 1999) I started this group of collaged constructions: guns, bullets and bar codes in reaction to the 1995 bombing and destruction of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. I was shocked by this act of terrorism focused on maximizing the body count of federal employees, using store-bought and stolen materials for explosives. ~Max
