Artist Statement
I created “Words Should Count” to question the rationale for war and to condemn warmongering by the current and past US administrators.
I use hand grenades as a well-known metaphor for expressed ideas. Ideas can be good and bad, they are like grenades, on the side of good and evil; they can disrupt and transform and leave shrapnel or truth or the remnants of lies in your brain. If you lie, the lies will come back to hurt you. If you state goals in your campaign that you later ignore, then you pretense of being principled explodes. If you worry more about your political success than the country’s then, we are all maimed and injured.
Parleau is created using multiple layers of translucent polymers on metal, which is then sculpted into an abstract relief.
