Western tradition woodblock print.
The image was based on a Picasso print reflecting the destruction of Guernica. It immediately came to mind when I was asked to do a print for the Baren Portfolio commemorating 9/11/200l. The little girl holds a candle to enlighten the way and flowers to offer peace to the beast who perpetrated the destruction. The fallen heroes of the NYFD lie at her feet, as well as victims from the tower. Two women are shown in a window of another building, observing the scene. A dalmation fire house dog howls in protest.
I hoped this print would be a depiction of not just the destruction and heroism, but also of the opportunities for peace that lay ahead.
