In Siam, painted in 1999, is a series of historical narratives reflecting on Sterling Rathsack's two and one half years spent in Southeast Asia at the height of the Viet Nam War. Rathsack's often ironic account focusses on the "Rest and Relaxation" (R&R) centers of Bangkok and the bustling bars lining highways along every U.S. military installation.
