In Lucas Grogan’s embroidery The Bomb, the words “SHIT”, “FUCK”, and “SORRY” go straight to the heart. The emotional gaps left by the lack of punctuation get filled in by the surrounding cross-stitched kaboom, making clear the artist’s point about the human vanity that leads to war and the futile mea culpas that follow it.
The Bomb is one of Grogan’s pieces in a two-person show with New York-based Andrea Mary Marshall, opening September 11 at Garis & Hahn gallery.
