Deconstructed sculptures, that are each named for a landmine, convey the enduring history of our civilizations continuous cycle of war.
The Fragments series subverts the tradition of figurative sculpture by creating a contemporary interpretation that embodies both beauty and destruction, and they offer a haunting visual paradox.

The international Fragments sculpture tour began in London’s Canterbury Cathedral in 2007, these sculptures have become symbols of hope for activists still working to remove landmines.
The Fragments are only shown as one exhibition linked with an organization supporting landmine education or removal, and half of all the sales are donated to that cause.
