RECENT SCULPTURE

 

 

This collaborative piece speaks to US involvement in foreign wars.  It consists of 50 figures (one for each state) which memorializes the almost 5000* U.S. Iraq War casualties.  There are over 2000* VFW paper poppies in the center, one for each casualty of the Afghanistan War.

 
Suspended above are Iraq combat veteran Leesha Quigg's photographs taken during her tour. The relationship between the work of the two artists calls attention to not only the dark consequences of the wars, but also sheds unexpected light on those who are living it.
