graphite drawings on rag paper

These drawings are of my fallen avatar, drawn using graphite pencil from recorded screenshots takine during the interventionist project "dead-in-iraq". I've isolated the figure from their backgrounds for the first five drawings. Each drawing is rendered centered on a 22x30" piece of Rives BFK rag paper. In these works I am interested in updating the tradition of the "combat artist" through the creation of these images which exist to represent a shift between simulation and document of war.
