Artist Nancy Hiss has been writing the names of occupation troops who have died in Iraq on the streets of Portland. From her site: "The names will thread their way through the fabric of Portland OR. Only last names will be listed to honor the sacrifice of individuals & their families. As you reflect on these names also remember the hundreds of thousands of nameless Iraqis and others who have been scared by this war."

GEOFF KRAWCZYK | Remains 1 | "I have been working on a series of paintings lately that is completely consumed with the death toll in Iraq. I take some strange comfort in recording images of the dead, violent though their deaths may have been. It seems to me a little like tribute or alms. Their departure from this plane was marked by grief and suffering, more so than in typical funerary situations, and I feel like the amount of sadness that can be expressed by one family over their blood might not be enough."
