Artist's Comments

These are the nightmare images I remember as a boy, visiting the Museum of American War Crimes, seeing birth defective fetuses in pickle jars, preserved in formaldehyde. 3 generations are still affected by Agent Orange, look up Peace Villages in Vietnam, or the VA list of benefits for soldiers exposed during the war. This sculpture was intended to show how the birth defects occur both in the womb and from the mother nursing (since dioxin bioaccumulates in the ecosystem, consumed by the top predator: usually humans, it is stored in the fat, and passed on through nursing, causing double-exposure in both womb & nursing.)

I will never forget something like that, although it has been nearly a decade, it's become etched into my memory, about the U.S. use of chemical weapons, even causing collatoral damage against its' own troops (look up veterans with disabilities suffered from Agent Orange or Depleted Uranium.) DU, has caused a 700% rate of cancer among children under 16 in Iraq.
