open book
A collection of pastels drawn from the weekly online news program Alive in Baghdad. The short news segments are created by Iraqi and American journalists to present testimonies from citizens and footage of daily life in Iraq. The videos are repeatedly viewed by the artist until images, voices and sound begin to evoke a sense of place.
For inquiries please contact Caroline Parker. Additional work were added to open book throughout the duration of the exhibit:
