This painting came out of my reaction to 9/11. The horror of 9/11 and juxtaposition of the futile massacre of the b52 bombers at the airplane graveyard in Arizona seemed apt. This painting took over 2 years to complete, although the bulk of the work is stencilled. It was emotional thinking through the idea and laying it down. The writing along the bottom of the painting are recordings of terrorist attacks on airplanes ending with 9/11. I wanted them to look like tombstones.
