Charcoal Animal Drawings > Spring War and Taxidermiphobia

Spring War was started March 19, 2003, the day that George W. Bush authorized the invasion of Iraq. The troubled animals are metaphors for the irony between events that day and the values and beliefs that would be celebrated on Easter the following month.
