I finally went to Art Prize, mostly because my friend Kim entered this piece titled, Fading Warriors. She created the piece in response to, Nightmare in New Guinea, a documentary produced as part of the Veterans History Project initiated by Grand Valley State University History Department. Nightmare in New Guinea chronicles the contribution of the Red Arrow Division.
Kim's piece is a mixed media which has collaged photos, watercolor, charcoal, gouche, and pastel. Kim wanted to emphasize the "enduring strength and character" of recently passed (including Kim's father) and remaining Fading Warriors of the Red Arrow Division.
It is a touching piece! I am so proud to know her and be exposed to her talent.
The church where Kim's work was on display (and where her sister and father were baptized) has a beautiful *sigh* Tiffany window.
