gun antlers-wax

a rubber mold was made of 2 toy guns from the 1950s, (see previous blog) 

one of which belonged to my father.

i then cast them out of wax, cut them up and reassembled them to create these antlers.

it became somewhat disturbing and comments on the use of guns as toys, the actual use of pistols and their intent, hunting and sport with guns, violence and trophy culture.

i placed them on plaques and hung them into this large window box i made from an old window i found in an alley here in halifax NS.
