Solution #2: Baseball Sculpture

These locked grenades represent the action that the United States should take, to discontinue use, production and support of landmines, cluster munitions and other weapons of war which cause unending death and destruction throughout the global south. Each sculpture is made from a real grenade, an M26 Hand Grenade, that has been decommissioned and deactivated to be used as an inert practice grenade and a laminated steel padlock. No keys are provided for the locks. And in fact each key has been disposed of. There are three types of grenades to choose from: pineapple, lemon and baseball. We are desensitized as a culture, to things related to war, including unavoidable death, misery and injury. By pulling out the pin, permanently pad-locking a grenade, and throwing away the key, it is made certain never to be used again to inflict harm on another living being. My work is inspired by hope and action on behalf of peace in this world. Of the 195 countries in the world only 164 of these actively support the disarming and decommissioning of landmines and cluster munitions through signing the Mine Ban Treaty http://www.icbl.org/en-gb/the-treaty/treaty-status.aspx and the United States is not a signator or has made any movement or plans to do so. A stand is included with each sculpture although it is not necessary to display it on the stand. Each Solution Sculpture is hand numbered and signed. They are all made by Robb at Kampstudio in Charleston, SC. A portion of the proceeds is donated to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL). ****The pins and detonation charges are all pulled out so these grenades are SAFE!!!!****
