Some of the maps and pictures that I have been researching are beginning to inform my design process for the paintings; and the work ahead. An old map of Babylon, overlay ed with a burnt body. A map of Iraq, giving locations of enemy targets and other important information. An image i pulled from Google Earth of the ancient city of Babylon and Saddam Hussein's palace he build next to it. There exists now a parking lot south of Babylon, this is most likely going to be my site. This is where I feel the least amount of damage will occur to any artifacts that rest below the soil.
