War
Graph, 58"H x 70"W
Embroidery and heat transfers
on velvet, brocade and silk.
Graph of Iraq's civilian deaths
from the war, and the United States' military deaths in Iraq. Some of
the civilian's names, ages, family relationships, and incidents are embroidered
on the borders surrounding the graph. One inspiration for this work was
the German WW1 artist, Kathe Kolwitz whose quotation is also embroidered.
Embroidered
text on border: "I am not yet finished with the War Series,
at the moment it seems to me very bad. Much too bright and harsh and distinct.
Sorrow is all darkness." Kathe Kolwitz, 1923, ten years after her
son Peter died in battle. |
