The Somme Still Lives

THE SOMME STILL LIVES – 1980-1985

Exhibited with Pangolin artists in Luxembourg.

SERIES TWO: LUXEMBOURG
The second Somme series came ten years later. They are all still-lives inspired by a shallow excavation made near the Lochnagar mine crater at La Boisselle. Removing the top-soil revealed the detritus of daily trench life. The trench happened to be the German Front Line but I wanted to make the still-lives representative of ordinary soldiers of every nationality.
