New Guinea TV_2017 First Annual National Juried Exhibition Wausau Museum WMOCA - Honorable Mention, Oct 6 - Dec 29

2017 The Image of the Savage, International Juried Exposition Rome, Italy at the space Millepiani, May 23 - 31


The New Guinea historic image is from 1944 during a time in which the Empire of Japan invaded the New Guinea and Australian territories in 1942. The New Guinea campaign of the Pacific War lasted from January 1942 until the end of the war in August 1945. This digitally manipulated historic image titled "New Guinea TV" is visually engaging and upon closer observation the early television becomes a visual statement of how western civilization has had profound influence on primitive cultures. This image was included in the first inaugural exhibition and is now a part of the permanent collection of the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art.
