Further information:
"'Eyewitness' is part of an account of the world we live in; now. On an obvious level it is about the wars that are currently being fought. But if the reader adopts a wide-angle view, they will hear the echoes of previous conflicts; and perhaps even the siren song of future wars. "The text and its presentation draws on newspaper headlines, media reports and school lessons. The repeated slabs of text recall the punishment meted out to school kids. There is also the influence of Cy Twombly's textual canvasses from the late 60s." Peter Lyssiotis

This book is featured in 'The Silent Scream; political and social comment in books by artists'. For more information see PUBLICATIONS.
