Artist's Statement
This platter was created in response to the terrorism attacks of 9/11. The piece helped me deal with the horrific events that occurred on that day. Although I wasn't present, watching the horror unfold on television had a lasting effect on me as well as all American citizens.
I wanted to produce a piece of artwork that expressed my innermost thoughts and feelings.
This platter is on display in various locations. Among them, a police and fire department in New York City and the Defense Fuel Supply Center in Houston,TX.
I would be honored to have my platter hanging in the Museum.
