Cliffton Peacock

Artist Statement

As a young boy my brother and I went hunting with Father. There was an accident. My brother was shot. I was responsible. I loved him and was inconsolable. I have been burdened by the memory of this event my entire life.
This is fiction. Unexplained, the reader would think, how tragic. Some would sympathize, others would condemn me for recklessness.
As with painting.
