Trigger Happy

TRIGGER HAPPY

10″w x 9″h x 8d

Ceramic and steel

 A trigger cut from a rifle, the result of Santa Fe’s gun buy-back program, lies submerged and encased in clear plastic within this cracked gun-blue bowl.  Mirroring the tradition of some native peoples, leather straps hold the broken bowl together.  A glance inside the bowl reveals something more than the brightly polished trigger.  There a nest contains three fragile robin blue eggs.
