Creative Access Description
A colour landscape image of three wooden-framed works mounted on a sandy brown wall. The outer two frames display a crucifix painted in a brown quilt-like pattern with individual skulls placed in the middle and the slogan “WAR IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT” written using wooden alphabet tiles on the sides of the crucifixes. The backgrounds are also painted in a quilt-like pattern with the frame on the left painted in shades of blue and brown while the frame on the right painted in shades of red and brown. The frame in the middle contains two action figures placed in the centre on top of a small wooden frame with long pointy triangles, painted in brown and black, coming from the top and bottom of the small frame. Surrounding the small frame are two brown hand figures holding up the peace sign, shell casings and copper stars along with copper-coloured lettering spelling out “G I JESUS”. The wooden background is painted with two black sideways triangles, leaving the unpainted wood to form a triangular hourglass shape, a red border around the small frame in the centre and light blue lines at the top and bottom.Description
