Many of the images found within Tiffaney’s montages are appropriated from a series of books documenting WW11, published by the Sun News Pictorial at the time of the war and The War’s best Photographs, published at the same time by Odhams Press Limited, Long Acre, London.
Tiffaney would like to officially acknowledge her sources and the important role they have played in the creation of her new and socially significant body of work. Tiffaney feels confident that she has afforded the necessary reverence and respect to the original images by using sufficient artistic license to render new artworks in their own right.

War and Peace in The Global Village
Marshall McLuhan, Quentin Fiore
Gingko Press CA, 2001
This controversial book, which has sold more than 300,000 copies, examines the effects of electronic technologies on all forms of conflict. War and Peace in The Global Village is a collage of images and text that sharply illustrates the effects of electronic media and new technology on man. Marshall McLuhan wrote this book thirty years ago and following its publication predicted that the forthcoming information age would be "a transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest". War and Peace in the Global Village is a meditation on accelerating innovations leading to identity loss and war.
Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag
Picador, 2003
A challenging book that explores the perception of reality that is often eroded by the daily barrage of images of atrocities and the way photography facilitates the role of witness from a distance. Sontag investigates what it means to care about the sufferings of others from far away.
