Plymouth in Devon was severely bombed in the last world war.
This fact was a starting point for my 3D expression of war.

Modern warfare is very different now. A computers circuit ‘board’ (or
motherboard) was my starting point.
I saw that from above this resembles a city and computers are now
also seriously woven into the fabric of cities.
I began to blend the two.
Then the idea of ‘board’ made me think of the game of chess and
how in a way superpowers and their computers battle with each
other. Now there is the serious game of war being played out in
Eastern Europe and computers are involved in the process.
This piece is an integration of these concepts of war game, chess,
city and computers and lifting the lid after such devastating conflicts
is hard.
