EIKONS – Mitigating Circumstances (1990 – 1992)

This series of six triptychs is based on national articles taken from The Philadelphia Inquirer, collected between 1980-1990.

The EIKONS (Greek for ‘image’) are about the cosmetizing of violence...about the transformation of the Unthinkable into the Acceptable.
