study war no more

[Winston-Salem, NC]

this image is a collage of sorts... a heap of tattered images from sketchbooks and textbooks.  

lately my studies consist of politics, art, and a little emergency medicine... resulting in a constant flux in mindset and an inevitable crisscrossing of ideas.  the body politic assessed as a human body... airway, breathing, circulation... is the patient politic violent? suicidal?

this collage isn't meant to suggest any answers but to explore questions that could emerge from a look into the body politic and how it might fair under the scrutiny of a medical assessment.... especially in the context of international relations and war.
