Art Takes Deadly Turn
I was reminded once again today that art takes many turns. Sometimes people create things for either protection or to harm others.
The exhibit “The Art of the Shiv” shows different Shivs created by inmates from everyday materials. This image is an unbreakable comb with razor blades inserted to make a knife akin to a butcher knife.
People create things for many reasons and not all of these reasons are good reasons that people enjoy.
I was amazed that such things could be created by everyday things and it does make you look at ordinary things in new ways.
Check out the gallery here.
