Hand singed by the artist. The poster was published to promote an exhibition of Kennards work held at the County Hall, GLC, 1983. The design repurposes Kennards earlier photomontage Never Again, depicting the top half of a human skeleton, with the skull replaced by a mushroom cloud resulting from the explosion of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb.
