Hand to Hand 

Since the beginning of the Iraq War in March 2003, I have been painting a news story almost daily on stuffed white gloves. These gloves depict the newspaper headline, the date the story appeared and my interpretation of the event. Each glove is a “rosary bead” in this on-going, meditation of war witnessing.

Recently, I’ve expanded the project to include other artists in a variety of media as a living community dialog. Since January 2006, artists from Atlanta and beyond Georgia, have each signed up for a specific week. They have chosen a news story a day during “their week” and created glove-related art works in response.
