I am exploring new ways of representing violence in an attempt to comment on the absurdity of war. This work was inspired by the tradition of elaborately decorating weapons, and the dichotomy between these richly decorated, beautiful objects, and the violence, bloodshed, and devastation which they can inflict. The decorative, frilly papers were chosen for the tension they create by their incongruity with the events and objects depicted.
