This is a piece I did last year. The object is a cast glass paw with a dagger stabbed into it (the dagger was an inclusion.) The loudness of this work was really fun to play with, it is "so in your face" that it almost goes too far and becomes almost joking. The quote is important for many reasons but one of the things I was really interested in was the temporal relationship between the dagger, an ancient and crude weapon, and the attitude of science and progress associated with that phrase. Just something to kind of turn over in your head.
