"This print uses images of monuments, machinery and memorials in a phallic shaped arrangement. It deals with the masculine nature of war; manipulation and depersonalisation by the state and the destruction of lives and society." At the top there is an image of a machine; below it are three monuments; below these are two portraits of soldiers in oval frames; below these are plants that spring out. Colors used: 1. Pale blue, 2. Mid blue, 3. Crimson, 4. Bright yellow, 5. Orange, 6. Pale yellow, 7. Creamy white, 8. Purple grey, 9. Bright red, 10. Orange red, 11. Dark blue, 12. Pale green, 13. Sienna/orange. "The images used in this print were collected during a year spent in Eastern Europe. The two young men were Russian soldiers killed while liberating Hungary in 1945. The steam powered maching was from an old negative on glass (daguerrotype) (sic.)." J.Nicoll . (Text taken from CEMA website)
