Art and War

General Sherman, a distant relative, said that "War is Hell". Many artists have depicted both hell and war over the millennia and had a profound effect with their work. Unfortunately, war has become a video game for many and the reality has become distant. Bombing and drone strikes also create a push- button detachment from the carnage and anguish. When the US stuck in several countries after 9/11, I felt compelled to put something out in public. I also decided to leave it up until all our troops have left those nations. This assemblage work aims at conveying the emotions of the tragic witnesses of war.
