“Aurora”
“Oilcan Tanks”. The cans are wheel thrown and are decorated with underglaze. The treads are made up of wood and metal.
The concept was derived from a government funded operation called “Militainment”. Which is the government funding going to diverse areas of media popularize war in a more entertaining fashion. It began with the Regan administration and “Star Wars” in the mid east.

The idea then grew into a more tangible questioning of our ancestors, the birth of capitalism, and the wholeness of American ideals.
