Update: not sure if this will be able to be 3D printed at shapeways based on their latest scrutinity of my new 3d models. Since it might be offensive to someone and shapeways at any point could cancel orders and cancel my commision i will be only be offering this piece via my website at politicalsculptor.com until Shapeways calms down with their order rejections
I had this idea about making this KKK Oscar Award about a year and change ago. The Oscars were really controversial last year for their whiteness and lack of diversity. However, in my busy schedule i never got around to it.
A Year Later the oscars failed to do anything about their lack of diversity and this year people are pissed off about it. Celebrities are ready to boycott it and i don't blame them for it. Shit i boycotted chick fil-a like 3 or 4 years ago and i'm not even gay.
I'm Glad people are standing together and making their voices heard. I'm not a famous movie star so my voice is a lot smaller than theirs. So i'm doing what i do best and that's is 3D printed artwork. Trying to portray what the Oscars truly are. a Bunch of white men trying to put the black man / woman down. What better way to represnt the oscars for what they truly are than putting a nice white KKK hat on it.
I wish all those artist boycotting the Oscars the best and i hope their voices are finally heard so i don't have to keep making new art work about the KKK Oscar Awards
