to die for art

art report, you are what you take

Object type: visual, physical
Artist: Louis carton
Notes from the artist: my first art piece, it may not be much but it's special to me.

Description: the art piece you are what you take is three skulls, each skull is filled with bloodied cocaine and nervous tissue, each skull has belonged to people addicted to multiple drugs including cocaine. When anyone looks at the skulls that have a compelling urge to try to take in the cocaine in ways that cocaine is not normally taken. These ways are known such as consumption, pouring into ears, pushing into wounds, and attempting to remove eyes to put said cocaine into the sockets. No matter how much cocaine is taken out of the skulls it appears the skulls to not lose the amount of cocaine it started with.

Discussion
Charlie: this seems odd for a first piece but still is intresting.
Louis: I got the idea from a bunch of kids at my school I teach for always talk about being cool and doing drugs but they always mess up and say something incorrect, finally I made it so they do perform their acts as they claim.
Pat: do you mean to say you used this on young kids?
Louis: mainly punks kids in the school, I put the three skulls at different lunch tables that they hang out at.
Pat: may I ask if any of them died from this?
Louis: well some went blind or hurt badly from trying to get the cocaine in them but only one got fatally hurt.
Pat: you said this is your first art piece and you target teens and children?
Louis: well first teens and children, then staff came by and started getting affected by it but I took the skulls before too many people were affected.
Pat: but you still targeted children instead of adults or people actually taking these drugs?!
Louis: I though this group was ready for something like this, this would have been nothing compared to everything else.
Charlie: I think it's amazing, may I ask if you can make more of these skulls.
Pat: they were children though are we just going past that.
Charlie: pat let me ask you something
Pat: what
Charlie: are you not ready to die for art because if so I believe you're in the wrong group.

Multiple skulls are currently being created and prices for future skulls are being debated.
