"Zip ties, or cable ties, have come to be associated with restraint, incarceration (handcuffs). The nightmare image of one of the Capital insurrectionist traitors carrying a bundle of stolen zip tie cuffs into our hallowed Senate Chamber sent shivers. In this moment of national discord, the new zip tie pieces are my joyous remedy."

This mural is part of the exhibition Spacing Out: Expanding the Field of Vision featuring art and artists that blur the boundary between two- and three- dimensions.
