9/11 New York

20 Year Anniversary of the 9/11/2001 Terrorist Attacks on The World Trade Center in New York City 

As a  born New Yorker I was compelled to see first hand the devastation as soon as flights were renewed and Museums, etc. were trying to recover from that horrendous event. The site was still smoldering during my mid-October trip. 

I used the Metropolitan Museum of Art (current) Catalog as my "canvas"/booklet to draw, collage, paint, as relay my feelings. 

I spent one day exploring the entire perimeter of the site with my 8MM video recorder. It's 13 min. long. Here are portions of the video:

Collection of the artist

Painting on the mostly-empty plastic lid containing the ash/soot collected from a nearby potted plant (shown in video below). This was finished sometime after the others were finished and the pair of Blue Light Beams were installed as a memorial. The ash/soot was gathered before officials asked the public not to disturb a larger site perimeter .
