Jack Daws: Nothing To Lose Sculpture

Jack Daws... Better You Than Me (2007, .45 caliber pistol, hollow points, enamel, plastic plug from toy gun). From the exhibition Jack Daws: Nothing To Lose Sculpture at Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle, WA. "...Jack Daws is wildly irreverent, but he's never without a point: The objects he fabricates veer a few degrees away from normal, and in those few degrees is a world of meaning. This, his first solo show, features sculpture and photographs, and includes a playpen bounded by barbed wire, a windmill sculpted out of coal, the twin towers built of French fries (pardon me, Freedom fries), and other items that carry his nutty political charge. By way of excellent contrast, Greg Kucera is also showing new drawings and prints by South African artist William Kentridge, one of the few political artists who doesn't make me yawn." - Emily Hall
