Matthew Cook - very impressive. A flash slideshow is here.

His site and work is here.

There's also a link at the bottom of this interesting read to his book. Just £10 from the Army Benevolent Fund charity shop, or £13.50 if you want to contribute to Murdoch's coffers at the Times Online Shop.

...actually the (again, interesting) read here says:

>Matthew Cook's exhibition, Sketches from Afghanistan, is at the Ministry of Defence from Thursday, 20 October. A 64-page catalogue with a foreword from HRH Prince of Wales is being sold in aid of the Army Benevolent Fund.

Very moving slide show. Good art.

And just to juxtapose with the ridiculous:

A Scots artist has been given almost £500,000 to create a football ground in a forest.

Craig Coulthard plans to fell trees to make way for the pitch, which will be used for just two games before it is allowed to disintegrate.

It is one of 12 art projects commissioned to celebrate the London 2012 Olympics.

The artist hopes "Forest Pitch" will provide a contrast to the new buildings being created for the Olympics.

Scotland based artist Craig Coulthard was selected as the Scottish winner of a £460,000 lottery funded commission, for "Artists taking the lead", a major project for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
