daytime - night time
opposites- day the solid (the bodies) are remembered
night the bright glass reaches for the stars (the souls)
two solids brought together by a middle plane of light
two in one. stronger

A crayon picture my 7 year old daughter, Molly did a few days after 9/11. The sad Statue of Liberty is saying, "God Bless America our home sweet home."

September 11 2001 I was attending a watercolor class in Santa Barbara Adult Education. One week later I told my teacher all my paintings were turning out indigo blue and she advised me to go home and paint the picture that was in my mind. One…

This picture is done by Alanna (age 13). It's called "I hold in my hand the unity of man". It won 3rd place in a Reflections contest.

This image is an oil painting on panel created as an inspirational view of the metal skin that survived after the collapse. This is a fence vision of a very important symbol of this violent event the metal crossed skin that survived creating a sense…

I visited New York on Xmas holidays this year, and Ground Zero looks like a strange and noisy cemetery...
I got impressed by this drawing in the wall...
Peace and Love!!

I watched both planes hit from the kitchen window of my office.

LA NOSTALGIE

Chaque fois que la nostalgie
Tombe sur mes yeux
Je vais sur les quais à chansons
Et j'y attends le matin…

Une lumière trompe mes yeux
En remplissant la mer dans des photos déchirées
Les rivages s'ouvrent ensuite
Et on entend…

After many months of critical thinking, sketching, and conceptualizing, I came up with this idea for the new World Trade Center.
There are two sets of twins: the taller, perhaps 90 or 100 floors tall, along Church Street; the shorter, 60 or 70…

This is one of my early proposal drawings for a new World Trade Center complex: twin towers like the first, but radically different in form from the sleek, pure Modernism of the original towers--and several floors taller. The "spiral" form steps…

Fourth of a series of four black-and-white abstractions of the towers' forms in the skyline.
This is, generally, a view from the northeast.

Third of the a series of four black-and-white images rendered with a dry-erase marker. This is, obviously, a low-angle perspective from the main plaza; the angled roofline of the Marriot Hotel bridges the gap between the towers at the bottom.

Second of a series of four abstract black-and-white images I did of the World Trade Center towers in the skyline, rendered with a simply dry-erase marker.

This is a sketch I did of the towers, facing them from the southeast with WTC 2 nearest the viewer. I did not work from an existing photograph, but my knowledge of the site is satisfactory. You can see the Woolworth Building in the background.

Immediately following 911, I read the following letter from the former union organizer of HERE Local 100. He had organized the workers of WINDOWS ON THE WORLD. My paintings were inspired by his words of internationalism and concerns for working…

We could see the Twin Towers from our living room window. They reflected many different colors depending on the light. I painted them many times from my window and from Downtown. This was the first painting.

This is a plaster sculpture created by a group of junior high students near Columbus, Ohio. They spent 5 months working on it to convey their deep sorrow. They chose this pose after seeing many images on television of the New York skyline that…

This ink is titled "Frozen." It has taken over a year for me to be able to examine the 9-11 tragedy in the detail required for expression that is as involved as this. I wonder if other artists and writers are discovering the same thing? Horror of…

This drawing, more a sketch, is fairly straightforward and is titled "Weight of Emotion."
