    Statement of Work

    At Ground Zero after 9/11 I aided Suree Towfighnia in filming “Caution: 2001”. They called it a “crime scene” and barred all media. I had my sketchbook. I began to draw. The humble act of drawings they allowed. Guards sharped my pencil, gave me throat lozenges, and passed over the barricade an army-issue sweatshirt at nightfall. Suree filmed me drawing. People came crying asking me to send them copies of the drawings. I had a pocket full of addresses; pre-Internet, pre-cell phones, I sent Xerox’s to strangers.
