Ferry's work is the most political in the (2006 Biennial Juried Exhibition at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art). Two of his pieces explore Maine's relationship with Iraq. In one scale painting, he overlays the outline of Maine on top of the geographic outline of Iraq, to give perspective about the size of Iraq and its similarities to Maine.

If one flipped the outline of Maine on it's side, it would come close to mirroring the rough shape of Iraq.

In his other painting, "Operation Maine Freedom," Ferry suggests that Maine is the target of enemy bombings, with Bangor the epicenter of activity. Bombing routes crisscross the state, with targets marked by orange flames.
