Caution, idiot.



"Caution, idiot."




This work references the use of signs in our lives. By creating a sign which indicates precautionary measures to be taken and yet tell you absolutely nothing, the sign completes it's purpose as a sign. Signs are a manmade way of subtley telling you exactly what to to without you ever knowing.




This work plays on that idea and makes full use of our willingness to obey as it holds the viewers eye to tell them nothing.
