Working on a reproduction of the dagger that Alexander Berkman used during his
failed assassination attempt on Henry Clay Frick during the Homestead Strike (1892). I admit, it's kind of dopey looking, but the
original was crude as well, something of a sharpened file or shank. This reproduction will be gold-leafed when completed (thanks to
Thad Kellstadt). It's part of an exhibition I'm working on with
Tesar Freeman, opening in downtown Pittsburgh this June. We're focusing on United States history - you can follow our progress on ideas and fabrication
