A news story about a young child epitomized the week’s tragic events. The parent was trying to explain why Daddy wasn’t coming home from work at the World Trade Center. In her explanation, the mother said that God came down and lifted Daddy to heaven that day. The little boy looked up at his mother and asked, “Does God have enough hands?”

This art quilt is a response to the horrific events that changed the United States forever. It is an abstracted image of the toppled World Trade Center Towers. The rubble below are photographic transfers of newspaper articles, headlines and photographs. It is unorganized with chaos reigning everywhere. The quilt is unfinished—the batting is exposed & charred & threads are not trimmed—reflecting the vast number of lives that were so unfinished when the World Trade Center was destroyed.

This art quilt was donated to St. Paul's Trinity Church--the former Ground Zero Headquarters. Donated by Deborah Fell 2005
