Moira ~ it reminded me of a child's toy as well, but I was intrigued by the fake aspect of the wooden gun, apart from its potent symbolism.Julie Joy Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494942281316667133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657450053451704408.post-56268236230881047912011-08-28T14:27:45.758+10:002011-08-28T14:27:45.758+10:00Moira Corby sent an email to me on Sunday morning ...Moira Corby sent an email to me on Sunday morning and I quote:<br /><br />"There is something so attractive about this object. I think it is it's texture, the<br />painted wood reminds me of a child's toy but also of the malleability & hand- made<br />nature of it's material.

There is a scene that this reminds me of at the beginning of Watchmen where a hippy girl places a flower into the barrel of a gun, which immediately discharges. I know In Flanders Fields, many of my male ancestors are buried in them. I think the image shows the greatest respect for their memory. Lest we forget.Steve Middletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930537789400847392noreply@blogger.com
