“You are what you eat,” I always heard growing up.
Artist Statement: The same goes for what you do. An example is the definition, or what makes up the “who,” of a dishwasher. This could include the dishes and suds and hot water and sweat and the shower after work. It includes the restaurant and the customers and the garbage cans out back. “Who” is inextricably tied to “what.” I wanted this print to depict what Gerald was as a guard in a prisoner of war camp. As a guard in the camp he was, in a way, the camp itself. He was a barbed wire fence and a rifle and the dust in the air. This is not to say he was not an individual, because he surely was. He was also these other things, larger things. He was the detainees and the soldiers and a country at war.
