The towers in this drawing were done in ink. the color is pastel and the patches of blue within the towers themselves depicts the damage created by the impact.
The artwork is 72 inches high x 48 inches wide and was done on paper.
This poem describes sightings I've had of the numbers "9/11" for the past several years and my attempt to turn them from a frightening image into a source of hope and remembrance to honor those lost.

My car was on Church Street ten blocks north of the World Trade Center where I usually parked when I came into the city. I glanced down the wide avenue to see the towers gleaming in the early morning light. I got into my car at 8:30 on Sept.
