Artist's Statement
In the days after the 9-11 attack,the one thread that that was woven from one report to the next, were the words "As the people were running from the towers, the Firefighters were going in, as people were running down the stairs,the Fire fighters were walking up." What an unnatural thing to do,
Why did they do it? Like our Military and all the Americans who protect us
these Firefighters kept their word, honored their oath, and did their duty.
It took me a few years to capture the meaning of those first reports, the actions of those Firefighters,to be able to change thoughts and emotions into a visual feeling. I didn't create "Stairway to Dedication" my hands just captured the heroism of those brave Americans, Just doing their Duty.
