Tribute through Art
The project
The effect
"Memories come at you, sort of all at once" M. Sandler
9/11
3.000 paintings total (for each person who'd been lost)
it was cathartic for her (psychological relief - soulagement)
it took three years to finish the project
very quick paintings to pay tribute to the victims of the attacks
She lived a mile (1.609km) away from the WTC but felt distanced
subconscious (inconscient) doesn't remember that way
Gesture
something you do for someone else
title of her artwork
something you do with your body
in Art, it's done very quickly
after the attack she didn't return to work
"Gesture" is randomly (aléatoire) presented like the subconscious
Memory - hierarchical mind
The world had changed, she had changed
She lived in Manhattan on Sept. 11
Used stick figures and short hands, some of them are more detailed
