My name is Peter Vere Simmons. I am a young British artist and recently created a series of screenprints - one of which can be seen at http://www.sculpture-design.com/Peter_Vere_Simmons_September_11th_artwork.shtml .Subsequently I sent a press release to a few online art magazines and this is an except of it: ?I was shocked. I was also studying Andy Warhol's work at the time... from there to these prints was just a natural progression. The images of the attack had been repeated so much in the media that people had been almost desensitized to its gravity. I wanted to see if I could resensitize us all to the event through these prints.?
