RA Hetherington "Dad's Security Fence" 6"x7" Narrative Framed Ceramic Tile WP5971

Dad’s Security Fence presents a row of oversized yellow bullets standing upright like a protective barrier, enclosing a small female figure behind them while a male figure stands outside the wall. Framed within a shadowbox structure, the scene reads as both protective and isolating.

Hand-built in clay and kiln-fired, the bullets are exaggerated in scale, transforming ammunition into a symbolic “fence.” The small printed caption reads: “Dad’s Security Fence — Mom wasn’t very happy with Dad’s new security fence, but it satisfied their shared paranoia.”

The work blends humor with pointed social commentary. It addresses themes of fear, protection, family dynamics, and modern anxiety without becoming heavy-handed.

Measures 6.25" wide, 7.5" long, 1.5" deep. Wired for hanging.
