Description: "Redeployment" has been created in support of U.S. troops but in opposition to America's continued and escalating engagement in Iraq. This sculpture is a metaphor for the thousands of troops who are respected and are of value to our society, but risk their lives every day in what has become an unwinnable quagmire. Each figure has been finished in gold with a white sash imploring our government to "Bring me home". The figures sit atop a polished black plane, which represents the dangerous, and soul destroying killing fields that our soldiers deal with everyday.
