2006

I did a series of assemblages featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This piece is based on their Bed-ins for Peace, where they spent a two week honeymoon in bed protesting the Vietnam war. The music bar painted across their bodies symbolizes the peace themed music John produced. The gold leaf halo above their heads is shaped like a grand piano. The ghostly peace dove cut from lucite looks down on them from its perch on the 3D piano keys which can be imagined as a funeral pyre as John died like the other great peace makers, Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi.
