CRAIG FOSTER<br />

Craig Foster in 2002 started creating a piece a day based on impressions from the news and it grew<br />

into an art blog of sorts with about 2000 images. The pieces intentionally add light relief to the political<br />

message conveyed. More importantly the work is an indictment of the direction that the United<br />

States is being taken and the ready acceptance of war and the notion that military intervention is<br />

an effective means of diplomacy between America and the rest of the world. Craig Foster has been<br />

an artist since the late 80's when at the beginning of the first Gulf War he began making protest art,<br />

never considering that the work would be relevant in the new millennium.<br />
