In Memory of 9/11

On Thursday, September 15, at 8:00 p.m. come celebrate the work of Margaret Clarke with us as she expresses her personal New York experience in honor of 9/11.  In her own words,

"The spring after Sept. 11th I found a pile of discarded art supplies  on the street near my apartment. It felt like it had to do with 9/11; an East Village artist getting out or giving up, some dismissal in  their action to rid themselves of what once felt like a possibility.  In the pile were eight small, poorly stretched canvases with paint  splatter and brush marks. I took them and when the events of Sept. 11th  crept into a place where I could paint about them, those battered  canvases were what I wanted to paint on. A New York panorama,  served as the base image for all the paintings but I let the original  splotches and marks direct me to eight different places. I took what that artist left behind, that fellow New Yorker, and together we made  these paintings."
