This silk piece on canvas is from a photocollage derived from an image of poppy fields and a street scene in Afghanistan. A poet, Carma Lyn Park, wrote the accompanying haiku: "in the street poppies are still opening while snow drifts down" This manipulated image explores the soaring opium addiction that resulted as an unintended consequence of war: poppy cultivation is too lucrative to stop. The falling snow can indicate a number of things: the cold chill of awakening, debris from bombs, and opium. The silk on canvas provides a chilly and abstract look at a street event.

Scottie Kersta-Wilson is a Chicago-based artist, writer, and textile designer. Having travelled as an Army Brat for much of her childhood, she settled in Houston TX after the death of her father in Vietnam. Photography led her to Chicago to pursue an MFA. Here her work took on the shapes and subjects that continue to this day. Her images and collages include her own photography and photomontage from Southeast Asia and other areas of war. They are manipulated or collaged to share the presence of human hope and the persistent beauty of nature in the midst (or aftermath) of war. Her art examines the perceptions, mental images, and physical reality of the unintended consequences of war. Her images are typically printed on Somerset Velvet Giclee or silk. The surface of the printed matter is reminiscent of Asia, the place where she last knew her father and military history. She has received several residencies from Ragdale Foundation; and several grants from The American Descendants of Bataan & Corregidor.
