War Memorial for the Battle Fought Within the Family, (sculpture). Artist:  Ervolino, Ronald, 1961- , sculptor. Vera, Luis, 1960- , sculptor. Title:  War Memorial for the Battle Fought Within the Family, (sculpture). Dates:  1987. Medium:  Plywood, cement, tree, bronze plaque. Dimensions:  20 x 12 x 10 ft. Description:  This sculpture is composed of several rounded, cement, rock-like forms which anchor plywood chairs at various angles around a rectangular table. One chair at the head of the table is blue and appears to be reclining while the other chairs are of natural wood color with seats and backs in various awkward positions. The table has a zig-zag rift across its top. A small evergreen which is tilted at a strong diagonal, as if almost blown over, is growing out of the rift in the table. There are niches, depressions and crevices in which wild grasses and small seedlings have taken root.
