Grace Graupe-Pillard

Wetlands Women

In 2003, Grace Graupe-Pillard began working on a series of photographs entitled INTERVENTIONS focusing on the horror and human cost of wars being fought in far-off places. These photographs depict images of soldiers, car-bombings, ruins, explosions, and refugees, which are digitally embedded into the familiar streets and parks of New York City, Chicago, Baltimore and the New Jersey wetlands. INTERVENTIONS attempts to make visually evident the ongoing tragic repercussions of war transported to our own backyard.

All images are 30″x20″ archival pigment print.
