Over the years, I have done exhibits in different cities, and galleries have asked me to create images of their local areas. Although they don't represent the natural land as in the other areas of this web site, they represent a concept of each location.
Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, the two images of the Twin Towers
in New York, both photographed in 1996, have taken on new meaning for
me. Specifically, the "Liberty" piece, which by my original
concept, was to ask the question, "What was more important, the concept
of "liberty" that the statue represents, or the buildings of
financial power and the material world." Clearly, the lives of those
lost on 9/11 are felt by all of us, and although many will miss the skyline
presence of the World Trade Center Towers, nothing will stop us from fighting
for the value of what we hold most dear: the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness that we Americans and this country ultimately
stand for.
