1520+ Hometowns

Tofu’s “1520+ Hometowns” is a collage of all the town names of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, cut from road maps: “In March of 2004 I began a map piece cutting out the hometown of each American serviceman and woman killed in Iraq. … In some cases the towns were so small that I had to search many maps and atlases to find them. One of the disturbing by products of this work are [sic] the maps of various states with many rectangular pieces missing where I cut out towns.” Via Kottke’s remaindered links.
