Triare The Trigger • 8' x 8' x 4'
Artist: Bob Emser
Sponsor: Lincoln Park Conservation Association
Location: Wisconsin/Sheffield • 1877 North Sheffield
Triare the Trigger, an epoxy
and copper sculpture originally produced for exhibit in Rome, Italy, is inspired
by the finite human decision-making process of pulling the trigger of a gun.
Triare, meaning “to pull” in Italian, recalls the sculptures Southern European
origins. Its impressive size - 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 8 feet high - juxtaposes
the gravity of this human decision with the finite motion creating its outcome.
