Artist's Statement reads: "By leaving the piece unsigned, the artist invites the viewer to claim ownership. The simple materials (wood, metal) and the public location point us to an 'everyman' interpretation. The use of sports equipment, modified into an overt weapon suggests the artist is directing our attention to our current surveillance state and asking us to ask ourselves, what part do we play in this scenario? No matter what our role, our actions are limited to our immediate location as the quasi- now real -weapons are chained to our public utilities. Is this another way of addressing our dependence on non-renewable fuels?"
Shit, I should do this for a living.
Thanks for the info, Amy!
Arbroath, you ever need any more bullshit, just let me know. I have an unending supply.

The part I play in this scenario is standing there going "WTF??"
