Gonny van Hulst: Son of a Gun

Gonny van Hulst, 'Son of a Gun', glass & mixed media, 2009. This piece is about the willingness of youngsters to use guns and how it spreads like a disease through urban neighbourhoods, causing youngsters to view guns as essential to survival. Guns becoming a status symbol. I expressed my idea in glass because it is a material that is typically fragile and can be dangerous. So are the lives of our youngster and their deadly guns.
