Some interesting work from Ben Turnbull.  Apparently, Ben has a hate on for America, guns, organized religion, and pretty much all things Republican.  That means that this sculpture is probably supposed to comment on the ubiquity of firearms, or something like that.  While I’m usually not one for art with a heavy-handed political message, I just think these look cool.  I guess means I’m missing the point.

These sculptures can stand alone on their technique and detail, but something about displaying them in such a casual surrounding makes them even more impressive.  I can half imagine finding one of these whittled into a table at the campus bar, framed delicately with expletives and anarchy symbols.
