Fire and Paper

Description: Linocut and coffee splatters, Rives BFK. Edition of 5.
This art piece is about the bombing of the literary district in Baghdad, Iraq. It is separated into two sections with the flame at the bottom and paper flying on the top. The flame has a more overwhelming power with its repeated pattern as compared to the paper which has less power due to the separation from the other paper and its jagged edge. The brown stains around the image show the corrosion of the paper and the residue of what marked it. This piece was created while Aloysius was a printmaking student at Walnut Hill School for the Arts, a private high school for the arts in Natick, MA, USA.(Fenwick Gallery online AMSSH exhibition catalogue)
