The card game
Description
Barry John McDuff and daughter Catherine playing cards. Two 'identity discs' made from printing plates are beneath the photo etching. The work is commenting on the relationship of the Veteran with his family and the familiarity of Veterans with card games, gambling and similar activities, reflecting the enduring impact of the Vietnam war experience on soldiers and their families.
