Bob Aldous Memorial to the loss of innocence

Memorial to the loss of innocence refers to childhood tragedy. Using stories from news we are drawn into the childhood experience. At first we see the desk and chairs- then the babies shoes; all alluring images that provoke our paternal instincts and our desire to protect.

We then are presented with the open desk- a colt 45 reproduction gun and in the compartment next to it, a pool of blood.

The intensity of this contrast,with its attraction and repulsion is designed to provoke a questioning. Both to our reaction to the imagery and the way in which events are reported in the media.
