paper collage; 8×11″

“My visceral response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine also represents unimaginable human suffering caused by unbridled aggression, and political and personal greed in conflicts worldwide. To inflict requires an initiator and one or many victims. Inflicting war is deliberate, calculated, and intended to deliver hell to other beings without regard to justice, innocence, or compassion.”

ARTIST BIO: Ann Sullivan is a graduate of Miami University, a University of Cincinnati retiree, and a long-time resident of Cincinnati. She made her first collage 10 years ago in response to vivid, recurring dreams. She enjoys bringing together photographic images that seem random and unrelated. As each composition evolves, new possibilities suggest themselves, and the completed collage often becomes something unexpected.
