This is Cassandra, the first painting I did after my hiatus following 9/11. I started it watching, or rather, listening to the 1st anniversary name-reading ceremony of the disaster while the helicopters over my house filmed the event as it was broadcasted back to me on live TV. It took several sessions to finish, this work is time-consuming, and was the beginning of the small squares and metallic under-painting. All that's yellow is mixed with gold, as is the coppery blue background.
