I created this piece intuitively and compulsively. I found the Sargent painting print the same day as they discovered nerve gas being used by insurgents in Iraq. And, the parallels struck me in an almost eerie manner. I wanted to make this collage a little more clearly linked to present headlines, but as I worked on it, it seemed a more timeless message. The "Terrible Vision" line is from a Three Musketeers story... it's a chapter heading, and it seemed appropriate on many levels.
