FRAN
BULL: IN FLANDERS
FIELDS
Opening
Reception: Friday, July 9, 6-9 p.m.
Artwork by Fran Bull
|
"My piece
'In
Flanders Fields,' an installation in
nine
parts, is my attempt to add my 'silent scream' to the chorus of those for
whom
war is anathema. It is a meditation on the fact that we-as whole countries,
as
societies, as small bands linked by shared hatreds and as human beings who,
with
our pitifully short lives, have been given the privilege of inhabiting
a
magnificent planet-continue to engage in warfare, mired in the delusion that
we
are thereby solving our human dilemmas.
"The famous poem from World War I
'In
Flanders
Fields,' written in the midst of 'seventeen days of Hades' by
Lieutenant
Colonel John McCrae, forms the central image from which I draw my
inspiration.
Dead soldiers lie buried in a field of poppies. Larks fly overhead,
singing,
oblivious of gunfire. Soon enough the fields will harbor just beneath
the
surface an array of human bones. McCrae imagines the dead speaking.
They
implore us to 'take up our quarrel with the foe' in order that they may
sleep
for all time. My piece takes issue with the poet and with his assumption of
the
rightness of retribution and the implied glory of 'winning.' May we come
to
understand that the unrestrained mortification of human flesh known as War is
a
shameful betrayal of who we are and all that we are."
-Fran Bull,
