This piece came togther very unrandomly. Had this random thought about what sort of places were loaded with symbology as far as site specifictity. kept thinking where can i do a project that if i do it anywhere else it wouldn't mean the same. A prison was one thought, then out a the blu a get a call askin me if i wanna go and shoot in this old prison for the afternoon one sat. Uh... Yea!Yes yes yes now.. what do i do inside this cell that will also be loaded with symbolism? MMM maybe burn some money ! this gets better and better. Had to it ittt disguised as destroying federal property is a crime even if it is money you made urself mm maybe that's not so up and up either. Good thing i'm in prison. This exercise explored strong symbols as prop and place. I can make up all sorts of b--sh--t about what i was trying to say" I think the prison system is a waste of money or lust and greed for money will consume and destroy you. " just a few, but really i think it looks kewl and it was kinda a buzz to be so criminal.
