I am an artist who has a son in Iraq.
 

The Decider consists of huge abstracted American flags and other paintings.

 

One flag is called, Casualties to March 19, 2007. That dates the end of the fourth year of war in Iraq. It has a hole in it for each soldier who has died (over 3000) up to that date.

       my soldier   

 

Another is for the wounded soldiers...there are over 32,000 to this point. (I would like to involve people in the work...so it will not look like only my hand and will look like more than one voice).

 

Also, there will be a piece to represent the Iraqi people.

 

Other pieces will be added and the installation will continue to be made as long as the war continues.

 

The purpose of The Decider installation is to  give the American people a  voice at a time when many feel they are not being hear d and that their voice does not matter...and to be a visual for “the decider” to see  what he decided.

 

THE DECIDER IS AVAILABLE TO TRAVEL. TO PEACE MARCHES AND EXHIBITS...I WILL COVER MY COSTS MYSELF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE...IF YOU HAVE A FREE VENUE TO SHOW IT  EMAIL ME AT :
