Pink M.24 Chaffee

A combat tank which was used in World War II was the setting for this work of art.



As a protest against the Danish (USA's, UK's) involvement in the war in Iraq the tank was covered from the canon to the caterpillar tracks with knitted and crocheted squares made with pink yarn.

The pink covering consists of more than a 3000 pink squares- 15 x 15 centimetres – knitted by volunteers from Denmark, the UK , USA and several other countries.
