This large statement piece is an original painting,collage on board and framed with pine. The alternate title to this piece is "No more heroes". It was initially inspired by a comment from a former Us president who said "their no angels". He could have added their no angels either. The comment led me to contemplate the lines between good and bad and I realised that in these times those distinctions can be very blurred. This point was reinforced a little time later with the revelation of the investigation of war crimes within the Australian SAS.
I wonder how to keep faith in our heroes. How to avoid cynicism.
Ultimately a hero is an individual, not a mob, not a nation and not an army. We must all fight our own battles and look to the hero we might find in ourselves.
