When I decided to draw among the debris of the Lower Ninth Ward, I was concerned that some might feel I was exploiting the tragedy. I was humbled by the tremendous support from all who stopped to talk to me: homeowners, rescue personnel, volunteers, tourists, and engineers. Most thanked me for being there, happy I was creating something that recorded the truth which would soon be bulldozed. |
