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
