Slip Cast Pit fired Colt Single Action Army Revolver, Nike Shoe Box

Inspired by the Walt Whitman poem "I hear America Singing" the artwork references Americas frontier past and optimism of the time, in contrast to the way the West was won and its current political situation and self appointed role policing the world. Just Do It "I hear America singing" uses an ancient pit-firing techniques used by the Native Americans and the industrial process of mould making to create a ceramic revolver, combined with a reclaimed object that symbolises the capitalist/consumerist aspirations of America.
