There is No Danger
Threat Assessment
The Ideal Classroom

**The Threat Assessment series was made in response to mass shooting that took place in December 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, which I attended as a child.**

The works are based on American Carnival shooting galleries of the 1920’s, and the titles of the works are drawn from news coverage of the events in Sandy Hook and the national response and inaction which followed.

The drawings are made with 300 lb. water color paper. The white images were cut out and the remaining sheets of papers soaked in India ink, dried on screens. The black paper was then mounted to wood panels and the white paper inlaid for a seamless surface.
