"Choice of Weapon
Pintor Sirait
Stainless Steel
2008Funded by a City of Reno Ward 4 North East and Ward 4 North Valleys Neighborhood Advisory Board Community Pride Grant. Project administration by Sierra Arts Foundation. Thanks to Donald B. Schwarz for the use of the wall, Bret Moten from Infinity Forge and Mike Steedman for installation assistance.
Pintor Sirait: "Choice of Weapon" is a portrait of Robert Morrison, sculpture Professor at UNR since 1968. The Chinese writings are Bob's inspirational words translated to Mandarin. I am kind of playing with making him feel estranged from his own words! The words can be glimpsed behind the bullet holes shot into the stainless steel."
Sirait has his own professional website here. The focus of his piece, Robert Morrison, can be read about in more detail here.
