Just ten days before the attack an exhibition of my work titled "Wounds " had opened at the Johnson and Johnson Gallery in New Brunswick.These pieces like most of my work are evocative and less than literal.However in the days immediately after the attack I kept going to red and blue paints as I reworked images of flags with red bands dripping like blood and then a crying blue field. Both "Crying Flag" and Crying Tower" are intended as memorials.
