Posted: Wednesday, August 31, 2016Stephen F. Saracino, Professor, Design
A work of art by Stephen Saracino, professor of design, has been included in I.M.A.G.I.N.E. Peace Now, an international invitational exhibition relating to gun violence, which opens November 21 at the Wellington B. Gray Gallery at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. The exhibition features more than 100 compelling peace-themed works made from decommissioned firearms by world-class metal artists from six countries.
Saracino's work, Iowa House Bill, File 2281, was inspired by proposed state legislation that would have allowed children of any age to handle handguns and ammunition. Current Iowa law prohibits children under 14 from using handguns.
The exhibition will travel to Boston's Society of Arts and Crafts in early 2017.
