"Gumball machines"  
2000  Gumball machines, gumballs, condoms, joints, .44 bullets.
60 x 37 x 21”

This was the first piece I made for the show, inspired by my friend Greg Selch, who, as we were walking up the street and passed some gumball machine said "wouldn't it be cool if they like sold bullets or stuff in those?" The rest is history.

This machine, in red, white, and blue, gives out condoms, joints and .44 caliber bullets. It seemed a fun commentary on the state of American youth and gave birth to an entire exhibition.
