Artist Statement: I asked Ian if he had ever experienced rough seas or storms while on his deployments. He shared this story with me, 'We were out in the middle of the Mediterranean and there was lightening striking all around us and someone had left a metal toolbox chained to the flight deck, which was also metal. No one wanted to get it. So I went and got it. I just remember running down the flight deck and it was pouring down with lightening and I was like, this is what I signed up for! This is the adventure I wanted! And we were in the Mediterranean and I am a big history guy, so I thought, 'If Odysseus was here, he would get this tool box too!'
