Artist's statement: ""Tear Here started with taking a set of military uniforms, cutting off the arms and legs, and lashing them back together with red thread. Then I took digital images, tore at the seams, and visually documented the seams ripping apart. Using the structural vocabulary of the codex, Tear Here explores the ways in which the conflict in Iraq tears away at the bodies and the lives of those soldiers who serve in the U.S. military""--Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers' website.
Designed in InDesign, and printed on a Color Laser Jet on linen-textured paper. Some pages perforated, detached, and rejoined via mechanical sewingCoptic binding with sewing exposed.
Text consists of a short fictional story about a woman who lost part of her arm while serving in the U.S. Army during the Iraq War, which is juxtaposed with facts and statistics about the Iraq War, amputation and dismemberment resulting from military conflict, and modern warfare."
