Photograph - Digital Image, Homefront: Modern combat, 11/07/2018

Photograph - Digital Image, Homefront: Vietnam, 11/07/2018
"Homefront" is the name of the group of chainsaw statues in Greensborough's War Memorial Park. Banyule Council initiated the project.

The laser-cut steel shield has a pattern of Huey helicopters flying over rubber trees, Bill’s memory of being evacuated after being shot in the eye.
