“I often listen to radio news while in my studio and I produced this piece when the war in Iraq was dominating the news. I wanted to make a visually, viscerally and artistically strong commentary on the political landscape, while also making a universal statement.
An earlier work, titled Cost of War, incorporated bodies in a way that reminded me of flag imagery. This was the
inspiration for Fated Glory, which for me even more powerfully reflected my anti-war sentiments. I have been gratified to note over time that this piece has also touched others. Fated Glory has won awards in several previous exhibitions.”
