My Love For You Is Deathless Series
“‘My love for you is deathless,” a quote taken from a letter a Union soldier wrote to his wife a week before he was killed at the First Battle of Bull Run, informs Fussell’s war series; a rumination on love, conflict and violence. A microcosmic study of the mechanics of domestic relationships juxtaposed with civilizational and global conflicts is the theme of the series. Security, desperation, obsession, boundaries, control and reconstruction are all explored in Fussell’s latest War Quilt Series.”
