Facing the News (2006-2007) is a series of terracotta figures, inspired by photographic images clipped from newspapers. These sculptures give a public face to those people whose lives are suddenly and tragically changed forever, as a consequence of the trauma of war, natural disasters, terrorism and pandemics.
