| 9-11-2001 World Trade Center 8x10" collage |
I used one of my "writing that can't be read" sheets as the background, to represent the debris-filled skies. A striped paper referenced the walls of the World Trade Center, standing and falling. Bingo cards referred to the numbers of the floor and to elevators. And of course, there's the fire and the smoke, and the pain of loss.
These are very compelling tributes to the events of that time, the feelings we were experiencing and loss.
ReplyDeleteYou were there, my friend... at the workshop, I mean. What a good week that was in many ways.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, and very telling
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty powerful collages.. the red says it all..
ReplyDeleteEmotions were high and came out in the work like seldom happens. My regret is that I didn’t make them larger but I worked with what I had.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
Super responses. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThose are suitably somber yet vivid. Nice job of abstracting the horrible images but keeping the horror.
ReplyDeletewanted to stop by and wish you a Happy Birthday Jo! Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYour images bring it back in a serious but artful way. I felt called to do something with my art around this time too. Thank you for sharing. Such a pivotal event was bound to inspire art.
