New York NY United States
I was away from New York on 9/11. Part of the shock of
September 11, 2001 was finding myself so far away from the disaster with no way to help and so little understanding of what was happening.
I returned to New York on September 20, 2001. I went all over town, even spending a day visiting Union Square and then going to ground zero. Everywhere I went all the shrines and flags overwhelmed me. My first reaction was to write a diary of my first days in New York. “I have yet to sleep through the night”, I noted. “ Somehow I will get back to my painting; maybe I should try using the colors red, white and blue?”
After some weeks I slowly began to make a series of works on paper and finally paintings on wood using as my theme “red/white/blue”. I applied layers of red, white and blue paint, which I then covered in a neutral gray, and on the top of this I drew simple bands of tone with silverpoint. Then I erased part of the surface with sandpaper to expose underlayers of paint. The images are meant, in part, to evoke marks, gashes or wounds.
