Description

Like many other veterans of the Vietnam conflict, Michael Cousino, a disabled former Marine from Gouverneur, N.Y., continues to struggle with bad memories and daily life adjustments. Unlike many other veterans he has found an outlet for his frustrations and grief. He creates miniature replicas of his Vietnam experiences. In these astonishingly detailed dioramas he recalls scenes of battle and related episodes that reflect his life of some thirty years ago.
