i was talking to james at a party last week, and i mentioned this project. he said "wow, i don't even know anybody who owns a gun." after a few seconds, his girlfriend said "you own a gun. there's that gun in the closet."

james isn't really interested in guns. he doesn't particularly like them.

a few years ago he was comissioned to make a sculpture of a duck hunter for a hunting club in missouri. rather than make a gun out of clay, he just bought one and made a mold from it. after the bronze was cast, he reclaimed the body of the sculpture for a piece he's working on now. the gun, sat in a bag in a closet.

I like that as an entry to the book - someone who owns a gun, but has no interest in them whatsoever.

Cheers!

I like the dog in the back of the room... I love how you're incorporating pets. Neat addition to your very interesting collection.

Not sure I'm OK with someone who actually forgot he had a gun in the house. Doesn't sound very safe to me. I hope it's not loaded.

He should probably NOT have a firearm in his house if he doesn't know exactly what to do with it. He should...

...give it to YOU, perhaps?

Or me...

I was more piqued by the fact the muzzle was pointing right at Kyle (till I realized the shotgun was in two pieces).

yeah, it's also the not-dangerous end of the barrel.
