466 plus

I posted this back in May to my Facebook. Unfortunately, the numbers keep growing.

“466 Petals”

466 people killed in the top 25 mass shootings in the United States, according to Wikipedia yesterday (May 8, 2019)...but that could change at any moment.

I’ve been struggling about how to represent this number. Once I decided what I needed it to be, it came pouring out of me. Finished it this morning and couldn’t wait for a better photo to share. I feel so good about this one, I’ve never had a piece come together so fast. If you don’t like it or are offended, please just move on. It’s art, not a gun law change - that would be crazy, the world might confuse us with New Zealand.
