To Cut Both Ways

bronze assembled with stainless-steel scissors and chrome-plated

The idiom ‘to cut both ways’ is interpreted through hands that morph into scissors, to demonstrate that one’s actions have an equal effect on another. Any potential movement of one pair of hands would activate both pairs of scissors equally. I have explored this theme in drawings, a lithograph, a painting, and the mixed-media assemblage It Cuts Both Ways.
