Thanks to the current political and social climate, my emotions have been all over the place. I’ve been worried. I’ve been angry. I’ve been disgusted. I’ve been totally dumbstruck. Today, I am deeply saddened.
On Saturday, in California, a man walked up to a parked police car and shot two deputies in the head and the face and fled the scene. One deputy, a 31 year old mother, was able to assist her 24 year old partner and radio for help. While these community servants fought for their lives in surgery at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, California, anti-police protestors gathered outside, shouting, “We hope they die!”
This is abhorrent. This is heartbreaking. Where’s the outrage over this?

The Memoria Project

HIGHLANDS, NJ - Entitled "The Memoria Project"- these 13-foot marble sculptures by Stephen Shaheen are surrounded by granite blocks engraved with all 2,987 names of those who lost their lives in the tragedy of 9/11. The project was completed in the Fall of 2011.
In an article published in The Day (2/12/12) Shaheen said, "I had worked in a travertine quarry-in the classical tradition-in Italy. I remembered seeing old Roman place makers in the Louvre-property dividers used by the Romans: big pillars with the top half the torso of a person. I imagined the physical embodiment of a figure facing out in that direction (toward where the WTC had stood)."
Shaheen says he started sketching; a broken, eroded kind of statue. Celtic ruins and sacred spaces like Stonehenge came to mind, he says. He began working with two figures (mirroring the Twin Towers) encircled by stones.
