PEACELINE (60” x 36”- mixed media) “Our house had the best view of the Peaceline in the neighborhood,” the grown man says and solemnly points to pictures of the wall built across the street from his front door. This is what the child saw from his living room window; it stretched on for two miles. Peace lines, large fences or walls, much like the Berlin Wall, divided Belfast between Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods. “We thought they should call them ‘Piece’ lines,” the man says, remembering a time past. “They were the flashpoints for most of the sectarian violence and attacks.” |
