When the Pictures of our local Pennsylvania, New Jersey victims were
published in the Philadelphia Daily News I was so touched I set out
constructing a visual memorial. A life size crucifix. Each
victims name and pictureforms a collage corpus...all in black and white.
The cross is in full color of the events of that day. There are
three jets extending where nails would be...one in each hand and one in
the feet. The corpus and cross are hung separately. with space
between each. The crucifix hangs in the main hallway of
Incarnation School in Philadelphia.
