Twin Towers series

The destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11 2001 was truly horrifying in its human, social and physical aspects. The widespread documentation of this event and its aftermath produced a variety of graphic images of unprecedented power and intensity that time has only magnified.

Drawing on published pictorial images of the burning and subsequent collapse of the twin towers, I have attempted to capture and confront in these paintings some of the emotional power of this event.
