This fresh gas mask is made entirely from a hacked up pair of
Nike Air Jordan 14 sneakers and is designed to be a semi-functional piece of art. This gas mask is on sale at
ebay for around $1,650.00 and rising.
"My work is an outlet for me. A chance to reflect on the world around me.
I’m often asked about my politics, what these masks mean, “what’s the
point?” or “why would you?”. The art world wants to promote artists who
further their politics, unfortunately independent thinkers don’t quite
fit that mold sometimes. I don’t want my work to be a reflection of my
personal politics, they’re there but I’d prefer to speak through my work
rather than preach through it. The important things are 1) exploring
creativity and imagination 2) making something manufactured in limited
quantities into something one of a kind and handcrafted and 3) working
with materials that I’m passionate about. Love it, hate it,
misunderstand it or just plain get it… it’s art so it’s up to you to
find your own understanding of it."
