The Project of Valor was a collaborative project with the University of Notre Dame, Segura Arts Studio, and South Bend Vet Center. It paired veterans and artist to create and exhibit projects that creatively reflected their military experience. I was paired with Jon Boller and Vietnam veteran that had collected and created scrapbooks full of memorabilia and sketches. One of the items was a small pocket size booklet outlined the code of conduct for all military men. When I met Jon I was struck by how he embodied this code of unity, loyalty, and fierce bravery in his everyday life. I worked closely with Jon to create a mono print that told his story through the artifacts he collected and sketches he made.
The final prints were exhibited in the South Bend Museum of Art.
