Every drawing, every sculpture feels alive and ready to walk away, or sit, or make love, or roll up into a ball, or crawl. It doesn’t matter. It’s alive, and I feel the energy. […]

Families performed a brief ceremony at the World Trade Center by tying yellow ribbons on the Callery Pear tree that had survived the devastation of the 9/11 tragedy twelve years ago.
