With a line of bullet casings, one project takes aim at gun violence

Zaxxr Llewellyn (pronounced Zarr Loo-EL-in) has a message. And he delivers it with 30.06 shell casings.

Fifteen thousand of them.

They're strung together with stainless-steel wire more than half a mile long.

He's taken his message about violence in America from coast to coast: To New York, by lining the Brooklyn Bridge with his art project. To Golden Gate National Park in San Francisco. To the Monroe Street Bridge in Spokane and a barrio in Santa Barbara.

The artist and furniture maker has spent more than $15,000 of his own money to "link people together." The "exhibits are to motivate people to make changes."

To get people to think, "What can I do?"

Each link represents one person who's been murdered in one year in America.

"We have monuments for everybody, (but) this is to honor people who have nobody to speak for them . . . To give a voice to people who were not written up in the paper.

"To say you matter."

On March 18 his Walk The Line project will be in Washington, D.C., along the reflecting pool at the National Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.
