SummaryDrawings of three phases of artist's life: hippie civilian life, war and returned home. Artwork made for project: American, veteran, me, 2012, in response to the prompt: Draw what you looked like prior to military service. Exhibition label: Three different eras by William Hunter, cardboard, paper and drawing, 20 H x 30 W inches, 2012. William Hunter’s work explores three different periods of his life. As a young person, he was a bit of a happy hippie and dressed in the tie dye that we see. He was sent into combat and witnessed the mayhem of war as well as wounded soldiers and death. He presents himself in camouflage. He returned home but his perceptions were now altered by his experiences.
