This mixed-media work was completed
in May 1969, inspired by this defense department telegram: "I
DEEPLY REGRET TO CONFIRM THAT YOUR SON PRIVATE FIRST CLASS . . . DIED 31
JANUARY IN THE VICINITY OF PHU BAI , REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM. HE SUSTAINED
FRAGMENTATION WOUNDS TO THE BODY FROM A ROCKET ROUND DURING A ROCKET AND
MORTAR ATTACK. HIS REMAINS WILL BE PREPARED, ENCASED, AND SHIPPED AT NO
EXPENSE TO YOU."
Additions and changes were made to the original collage in March 2003 to
further enhance the powerful effect of the work. This piece, which spans 34
years, is a universal memorial for lives that were sacrificed and a
testament to humanity's struggle for freedom, justice and peace. |
