All the fine young men: If it had not been for the Second World War...
Description
Depicts a collage like image of two baby photographs and a photograph of two young men overlayed with sections of text, deal with politics and war, derived from newspapers. The border of the image contains depictions of a US flag, tanks, aircraft, bombs, stealth bombers and peace symbols, along with a row of anonymous soldiers. In this work, the use of photographs of the artist's children as babies and as young men and her inclusion of text reflect her feelings of how great events in history such as war, effect the intimate and private parts of a family's history.
