Artwork Description

This painting was included in the 'Guarding the Home Front' exhibition at Casula Powerhouse‚ alongside works by contemporary artists and works from the Australian War Memorial.

The surface is mostly painted‚ but does incorporate printed media glued and sealed onto the board.

This artwork is an expression of the way in which the media reports on war‚ and suggests that the events are shaped or even scripted to suit the needs of a narrative. A film crew document - or direct - the movement of soldiers and tanks‚ heading towards distant fires and explosions‚ beyond a river. The painting speaks of reality and representation‚ war and entertainment.
