Necessary Torture: George. W. Bush

Research output: Non-textual form › Physical Non-textual work

Abstract

began creating Necessary torture: George.W. Bush in 2009 as a reaction against the idea that any form or torture is necessary. At the time the US Military was continuing to defend forms of torture against detainees as indispensable tools in the war on terror, and the former Howard Government, who involved Australia in this controversial war, was still under scrutiny for its own appalling treatment of asylum seekers and suspected terrorists. These are events that have unfolded in my lifetime, and I completed this work when it was commission for the exhibition Bad Girls by the curator Anni Doyle Wawrzynczack in 2013.
