These three artworks were born not of desire but of necessity. Yesterday I opened up the internet and there, staring at me from the RoadRunner home page, was an article about the Baby Grace case. Authorities have discovered the true identity of this poor little girl (Riley Ann Sawyers) and now her mother has told them exactly how she was killed...I'm not going to go into detail because even now I'm falling apart. I have wept for that baby pretty much continuously since I read that article.

Only cowards and bullies abuse their children and only monsters kill them. They are innocents and they are our future. I'm not religious and don't believe in heaven or hell but...I just hope she's at peace now. I can't make it to Texas to pay proper tribute at her grave but these flowers are for her.

This is really a wonderful work. Emotions play a great part in developing ourselves, though, some times at great cost.

Abuse and massacre of women and children, be it for any reason and by any nation, is the trauma or tragedy we are going to live with through out our lives. Damn it man, whats wrong with us! There is no religion, scientific or historic one, that justifies it but still we do it.
