    Fragmented Lens of War A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts at George Mason University by Kevin P. Wallace Bachelor of Arts Florida International University, 2018 Bachelor of Arts Thomas Edison State University, 2016 Director: Gail Scott White, Professor Fall Semester 2020 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright 2020 Kevin P. Wallace All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION To combat-wounded veterans, and all traumatized people, many of whom are still suffering in silence. Let suicide or self-harm never be your answer, and instead find healing in arts, creativity, science, sports or recreation, nature, or whatever you must cling to as you work to heal. Your life is precious to me! iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Gail Scott White for seeing potential in me, and helping me transition through this challenging program. Thank you to Professor Heather Streckfus-Green for the motivation, guidance and clarity you provided as a mentor. Thank you to Professor Edgar Endress for challenging me mentally and emotionally, and forcing me to evaluate myself deeply as an artist. And to Professors Paula Crawford and Ben Ashworth, thank you for openhandedly sharing your unique perspectives and expertise, and for inspiring my work. Also, thank you to Jill Brickey Hottel, Katie Correa and the other team of Marine Biologists, Conservationists and Graduate Student Researchers at the Central Caribbean Marine Institute; while caring for our oceans and coral reefs has always been near to my heart and a large part of my journey to overcome Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), your selfless dedication to this planet and its underwater inhabitants has greatly inspired my art practice; it will continue to be the foundation of my work for years to come.

Feared as an evil weapon during the First World War, guarded as a dirty secret during the Second World War, and heralded as the weapon of democracy during the Cold War, the American submarine story reveals the overwhelming influence of civilian culture over martial practices.

  • American Jewish History Month
    American Jewish History Month This weekend is the last weekend in the month of May, meaning that this Monday is Memorial Day, a time for all Americans to pause to reflect upon our freedoms. It is a day set aside to mourn the loss and express gratitude for those individuals who gave the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation. We recall and honor those who have died in our nation’s wars and who gave their lives for a greater good. All too often, amidst the barbecues, sales, launch of summer, and the long holiday weekend we forget, neglect or overlook why we have Monday off. I would like to suggest that at some point, and perhaps right now, while we are in Shabbat services may be as good a time as any, we should acknowledge the meaning of this day, and we should be conscious of its meaning and significance. The last weekend in the month of May also coincides with another notable commemoration, as this is the second annual American Jewish History month. I want to share a story which captures the essence of both Memorial Day, and American Jewish history, which recalls the contributions we have made to this country. In January of 1943 a crowded 18 year old coastal steamer converted to a troop transport, carrying more than 900 soldiers and civilian workers set out for a new army command base in Greenland. The Dorchester sailed north from New York to Saint John's, Newfoundland, where it joined three U.S. Coast Guard cutters to form a convoy.
