This years entry for the John Moores painting prize is part of my on going project the Killing Jar. The piece was first conceived when I saw the footage of Collateral Murder released from Wiki-Leaks, Jukian Assange.
The painting is on re-claimed plasterboard and uses household paint, the piece represents a still taken from the infra-red camera footage where 15 people were killed by American forces. By using everyday familiar, DIY items, I wanted to highlight the fact of how de-sensitized we are becoming to such events and how they are becoming the fabric of everyday life.
