There is a long tradition of official war art, where artists are commissioned to go to warzones to draw. But, what does the emphasis on the battlefield ignore? What if we looked closer to home?
For twenty years, I have sneaked inside arms fairs to document the arms companies that profit from war. Once inside I draw, and collect complementary gifts from the stands - stress balls in the shape of bombs, toy tanks, condoms, and sweets in wrappers saying, ‘welcome to hell’.
