This sculpture is somewhat self-explanatory, it’s about the notion of our support system being crooked, unstable and unreliable; I was envisioning the crutches having gone through an accident themselves. But the real impetus came from the result of the 2016 presidential election, (the year that America lost its mind and shocked the world) — The handles, underarm rest, and the feet are painted in the official DNC Blue. The final unique pair was finished in 2018 — built from actual crutches not involving welding or casting, (the first 4 pairs I cut for tests were from my own used crutches from years of accidents).  They’re hand-cut actual aluminum crutches, cut on miter saw, then joined together.
