Rollerblade
8.25” x 10.25” x 3 3/8” – 1996

Wheels have been attached to a fabricated two-blade pocket knife with opened blades.

 Meaning:

 I created this sculpture as a visual pun—a play on the word for wheeled in-line skates called Rollerblades, plus the image of a set of blades in the form of a pocketknife.  I created this sculpture in memory of my grandfather who brought me a new pocketknife each time he visited.
