Anatomy of War: Bullet Skull II

For my upcoming solo exhibition Anatomy of War at Krause Gallery in NYC I created a brand new bullet hole skull inspired by my piece on day 344 of the original Skull-A-Day project. This one was made by shooting directly into a large wooden panel...

The show runs September 9 through October 13 and if you're in the NYC area you're invited to come out for the preview reception on Wednesday, September 9. Get more details and RSVP for the reception HERE.

You can take a look at the process of creating some of the work for this show here...

344. Bullet Hole Skull

.22 and 9mm Bullet Holes in Aluminum (skull image 11in x 13in [28cm x 33cm]). A big thanks to my friend Russ who set this up for me, the folks at Dominion Shooting Range for putting up with us, and Neil Neil who suggested this one on the Skull-A-Day Facebook page. I drew the image on the metal and marked where the holes should go with Xs, then I shot the .22 for the outline and let Russ handle the 9mm for the bigger openings. We shot from less than an inch away for accuracy's sake.
