In doing a little reading on this piece and the artist. One cannot say that she did this because she “likes” firearms.

She expresses the object as being “masculine” and a “9 meter long phallic object”.

Parker is primarliy an installation artist, which in my opinion are the oddest types out there.

So, the artist is probably not interested in smallbore guns.

I love it when you guys "talk art." Reminds me why I retired early.

Ya, like all of those members who drool over the art on high-end Parkers at our Engraving Forum...

Anyway, I posted the picture because I thought you might find it amusing- and, at least she used a sxs. As for her politics, I have very little interest in what artists, musicians or actors have to say on that subject, even if I like their work.

Best regards,
Patrick

Amen to that, Brother!

Here's some art from a man who truly appreciated the Parker gun. My latest Fred Kimble painting. I believe this one is entitled "Duck Hunting 50 Years Ago".
