"The Writing On The Wall: A Memorial and a Warning"

A magnificent and awe-inspiring design of public art, and John's self-acknowledged masterpiece, is 'The Writing on the Wall.' It is a memorial dealing with the subject of genocide in the 20th century and beyond. But this only a partial description, for what it is goes beyond words; it must be felt.

We cannot give you specific details about this masterpiece. Many of the elements envisioned by John in this creation may not be revealed as of this writing, they are subject to copyright issues. Therefore, the details shared in this page will be purposely vague. All the shown photographs are from a scale model of the project.

The artist's intention is to maintain confidential most of the facts concerning this work. John’s ultimate goal is to see the monument constructed so the particulars of the project are destined for presentation in various cities. Eventually, when the project finds a home, everything will be revealed.

The Writing on the Wall is a sobering piece that comments on the darkest extremes of the human condition. It is a monument of remembrance, it is a monument that provokes understanding, is a monument for personal expression and spiritual contemplation, and ultimately, it is a warning to humanity. After studying over 250 monument and memorials in a wide-world search, John has created something truly original, an artistic masterpiece never seen before that is absolutely entrancing.
