911---15 years later- "Danse of the 911 Phoenix": On 9-12 that year I was scheduled to create artwork spontaneously in the window of the former Divine Alchemy Art gallery in Naugatuck Michigan. After the events of 9-11 I was moved to create a "No Evils" Rhythmistic painting the showed the promise of the American Spirit's return from those events. She is rising from the 11 spirits representing all those who died that day........and afterwards. The deflated Tao symbol implying that things are now out of balance.....in our need to See No, Say No or Speak No evil.
This 30" X 40" acrylics on canvas is now on display at the Trestle Furniture Store in Michigan City In.
Recently a collector visited my studio and commented that the central figure seems to be in a showgirl stance.......in it she saw an American icon.
To paraphrase the late poet Langston Hughes..."We too sing America!"
