KEVIN'S ARTIST STATEMENT
"I
take my materials from the hobby shops and sporting goods stores of my
native suburban Connecticut, and my methods from the crafting housewives
and the harmlessly delinquent pre-adolescents I grew up with. BB guns,
hockey pucks, tennis balls, and crafting materials are stripped of their
intended function as outlets for neutered violence and directed
creativity and given new purpose. I glue gun, shoot, and burn material
to create highly formal objects nostalgic for a suburban America that
may or may not have existed."
