ryanbarrett AKA The Mousetrap Artist

"Child Pusher": installation

ryanbarrett's "Child Pusher" is a tension infused installation consisting of twelve sculptures based on child transportation devices, specifically antique prams, strollers and carriages. Using his signature motif--a skin of set mousetraps--he transforms seemingly banal objects into spring-loaded metaphors. Evolving over time, the traps go off and are not reset. The sensitively conceived and delicately wrought sculptures aim to disturb.
