"First Response 9/11: A Spontaneous Series of Drawings Created in the Aftermath of September 11" documents the chaos, sense of loss, and sorrow at a defining moment in our history. Created in the four weeks immediately following 9/11, the pastel and mixed-media drawings deal with the brutality of the event and its aftermath with a diary-like quality. Morrow was living at the time in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, 1.5 miles from the WTC. www.marjoriemorrow.com
