How Art Heals-WEB

91 39. John Moran WWW.BACKDOORART.COM TEMSE, BELGIUM “My sculpture Death of the Salesman is about the American reaction to the killing of Bin Laden. People were dancing in the streets and holding parties outside the White House. I will not lie; I was relieved when the announcement came that Bin Laden was dead, but I was horrified by the reactions of people and the use of a state-sanctioned assassination as a selling point during a presidential election. At that moment, any discussion of a societal moral high ground was lost, at least temporarily.” After completing a sculpture, sometimes I feel satisfaction and sometimes depression.
