THEY WILL OBEY
Sculpture and VIDEOWORK-tonyash
2005

As we “progress” as a society our products and other aspects of our lives gain more and more distance from us. These truths are no more apparent than in our government. With our representative government less than half of our population chooses others to represent all of us. This distance not only separates us from the decision making process, it also separates us from the blame, guilt, and other responsibilities that go along with making these decisions.

THEY WILL OBEY puts some of that responsibility and power back into the hands of the citizen.
