Army PFC., James J. Coon 2014

Binh Danh’s “Army PFC. James J. Coon” is a haunting photogravure created in 2014. The photograph depicts a makeshift memorial, a wooden cross with an American flag, a military helmet, and a small paper with the inscription "In loving memory James J. Coon 2003." The image evokes a sense of loss and remembrance. The artist's use of photogravure, a process that combines photography and etching, creates a rich and textured surface that adds to the work's somber atmosphere.
