About this artwork
Painted as part of the "Lost Generation" project. Reflecting on the horrors of Passchendaele 100 years ago and the contrast with the mud of contemporary rock festivals.
“It was mud, mud, everywhere: mud in the trenches, mud in front of the trenches, mud behind the trenches. Every shell hole was a sea of filthy oozing mud. I suppose there is a limit to everything but the mud of Passchendaele – to see men keep on sinking into the slime, dying in the… slime – I think it absolutely finished me off” - Bombardier JW Palmer
This painting is on an unstretched roll of linen.
