1873 FRENCH BAYONET
Combine painting-acrylic and mixed media with an authentic engraved 1873 French Bayonet
36 x 12 in. (91.4 x 30.5 cm)
Serving as a tribute to those who lost their lives in war, a mounted 19th-century French yataghan bayonet bisects the composition with a quiet authority, its curved steel blade suspended across a stark horizontal band of matte black. The weapon—an object of precision, ritual, and violence—is rendered not as an instrument in motion, but as an artifact held in stasis, elevated and isolated from its original context.
