My father served as a railroad transit officer in the US Army during World War Two. While stationed in Namur Belgium, he and his company transported goods, weapons, and sometimes liberated prisoners from Nazi camps. Through it all he took numerous photographs and wrote letters home to my mother (who was pregnant with my oldest brother). After they past, I inherited my parents photo archives, which included these images and letters. I have created montages whose titles usually come from notes on the back of photos dad sent home to mom. Most of the imagery is of post-war devastation in Europe, but the tone of his writing is unusually positive and full of love, leading to the title for the series, "Love and War"
has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
