Artist's Statement
The sculpture is titled 8:47 9/11. It was created in 2006. It is made from steel and is finished in the natural color of steel. The sculpture represents a clock whose hands have stopped at the point when the first plane struck the World Trade Center Buildings on 9/11. The minute hand is a T and the hour hand spells rust. The two hands represent the collective trust that we felt prior to 9/11. The gears represent the turning of time. The teeth in the two gears have broken and the bottom gear has cracked due to the overwhelming stress of the tragedy. The gear teeth are shown lying on the base of the sculpture. I created the sculpture to capture the breaking of our trust as Americans and stopping of time as we formally knew it.
