# ..... This small visual book is called, "nattering nabobs of negativity
(referring to the media),"
It addresses injuries of children and or adults considered to be collateral damages
caused by either military conflicts or by chemical agents. The book consists of two
types of the imagery. The images depicting injured people were hand drawn on pronto
plates, and then Xeroxed. Later on, as Xeroxed printouts, they were scanned, and then
digitally inserted into book. While the other images, depicting different types
of weaponry, are straight digital photography of weaponry.
I purposely hand draw the injured human figures and juxtaposed them to digital photographs of
grenades that are causing these injuries. It is here that one can see an ongoing dialectic
between hand and the digital, between technology versus human, the flesh and the steel.
