"Trajectory 052422" is a somber meditation on the escalating gun violence in the US. It memorializes events in which 19 children and 2 adults were killed in Uvalde, TX. Mass shootings have become so common place that, unless one is directly affected, the events can pass with little more than a few headlines. This event, though, appeared to be an inflection point when change might occur. However, like the shootings preceding it, the public uproar subsided and the trajectory of gun violence in the US continued unabated. The ceramic bird forms intentionally reference traditional still life paintings in which hunted wild game is strung up as part of the pictorial composition. The bullet form, tagged and cataloged by date, is suspended, poised to enter a bullseye target below, itself shattered by previous shots. The threads weave together the various elements of the installation, serving to mark a trajectory, and to define a stasis in which everything is held motionlessly together.
