In 2002 Fletcher started Learning To Love You More, a participatory web site with Miranda July. The American War, 2005, Artpace, San Antonio, Tx Even though many of the images were familiar to me, seeing them all together and presented from the Vietnamese perspective was very striking. It made me realize that I didn't know much about the details of the war that had consumed the U.S. for most of my early childhood.
