No one's asking. But I'm telling.

With an upcoming senate vote on "don't ask, don't tell," the controversial policy is back in the news in a big way.  Even Lady Gaga is in on the act bringing gay veterans as her guests to the VMAs and calling on all her little monsters to contact their senators.

This bit of pop political culture has inspired me to do something I never really planned on doing: Posting pictures of objects I've created.  I'm even calling them art. Which begs the question, "Am I an artist?" I can't answer that question. I suppose you and the art world will have the final say.

Here are four small sculptures that are part of a series called Military Secrets.  (Three more are currently in production.)
