KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT
Acrylic and mixed media on canvas, incorporating a mounted antique blade and firearm component.
28 x 22 in. (71.1 x 55.8 cm)
Knife to a Gun Fight orchestrates a stark confrontation between eras, technologies, and philosophies of violence. Suspended at the center of the composition, a hybridized object—part pistol grip, part elongated blade—exists in a state of unresolved transformation, neither fully archaic nor wholly modern. Its presence is both literal and symbolic, evoking the idiomatic expression from which the work derives its title while subverting its presumed outcome.
