Somewhere around 1998, for Art Resources Transfer, William Bartman enabled me to create this digital work, edition printed on mylar for me to help with the gallery. Way after I thought I had created this, I found the same idea, with rifles, integrated in a Salvador Dali painting. He had done a grid of them on a long plane in one of his later works i think. The Shooting trophy was mine from 'Best Improved Shooter' on a skeet league while in high school.
Bill Yeats taught me instinct shooting, and part of the beginning I was to spend 5 minutes in front of a mirror, pulling a shotgun form the hip to my aim stance over and over, aiming right at my own right eye.
Digital print on Mylar, edition of 10.
(may be reworked at a later date)
Artists with guns, go figure...
