Une Autre Vie is both a work of art and a working stethoscope. The work was created for a juried exhibition titled: “Artists of a Different Caliber” sponsored by the Pittsburgh Goods for Guns Anti-Violence Coalition—a group of individuals dedicated to increasing public awareness of firearm safety and communicating a message of safety to and for children. The exhibition consisted of approximately 50 works of art, each employing a disabled firearm which had been collected from the community by the Pittsburgh Police Department.
