Gun Violence

In Chicago, gun violence has become a public health crisis. Inspired by a Chicago Public Media series of this title, the first piece is a big data representation of how bad things really are. I reproduced a photo of three bullets I took at a military museum and created this fabric. There are 4,331 bullets here...one for each person shot in Chicago in 2016...every other hour. The second piece, Chicago Cries, is in the permanent collection of Chicago Sinai Congregation.
