"Gulf War Memories", 1993, 80x24x24", mixed media, light, fans, chick bones, metal

An absurd memorial for an absurd conflict. "Gulf War Memories" represents the ironic nature of our national obsession with this most recent television war which was consumed and forgotten as readily as a fast food dinner. The bones from previously eaten Kentucky Fried Chicken are carefully suspended in front of sixteen whirling box fans, angled towards the viewer of the piece. The images were culled from videotapes rented from the "Gulf War Video" section of the local video store while the artist was living in Tampa, Florida, home of General Norman Schwartzkoff.
