September 11th Memorial Installation in Red - White - Blue

This Installation was originally intended only to last as a day memorial but Savannah College of Art and Design curated it for their two month long exhibition in their gallery. Flickering light bulbs were used to simulate lit candles, and plastic pallets replacing fresh rice. As the smaller candle bottles were too small, another type of smaller light bulbs had to be used which serendipity created images of fallen stars onto the table top of this already emotionally charged installation. In 2003 two exhibitions in NYC featured this installation - In the Shadow of 9/11: A Chinatown Memorial Exhibition (the red version) and Multiple Memorials - 60+ Proposals (the white version), and it was again exhibited in Des Moines. IA as the third (the blue version) in the series in September 2004.
