Audio slideshow: War through an artist's eyes

In the age of digital photography and 24 hour news, war artists might not have the same role as they once did - but their work still offers a unique insight into life on the front line.

London-based artist Arabella Dorman was invited to join British troops in southern Iraq before they pulled out of the country. Here - as her work goes on public display - she explains the inspiration behind her drawings and paintings.
