9/11
9/11 it so important Day for me cause of meaning that Darkness and Evil sometimes may win.
And it will be just horrible if you're not will be able to fight with Devil by mean of Light.
At Ground Zero after 9/11 I aided Suree Towfighnia in filming “Caution: 2001”. They called it a “crime scene” and barred all media. I had my sketchbook. I began to draw. The humble act of drawings they allowed.
Shortly after the tragedies of September 11, 2001, the Special Collections Department at Hofstra University established its September 11 Project Collection and began collecting a wide variety of material related to the devastating events of that day.
I have been painting in my studio since the mid-fifties. My teachers were members of The New York School. I gravitated to Tenth Street, the Cedar Tavern and The Club, a gathering place for the “painting obsessed artist.”
In painting this work shortly after the 911 attack, I felt that we all needed to rekindle
the logs of hope, bring light where there is darkness and an image that signals this.
