Asleep, unaware
Complacent
We were
Invincible
Immune
The Atlantic
The Pacific
Firewalls, protectors
No longer
Ostrich raise your eyes
Different world, from beyond our shores
Coarser than we have known
Touched us today
Shook the bear
From its slumber again
Another day of infamy
To be avenged

About the print show at Pierce Law by Aaron Brown of November 2003. He said the prints were about the events of 9/11/01, especially the twisted metal of the bombed buildings. They came months after the attack when he finally returned to print work after a lengthy hiatus when he wrote instead. His wife shared that they all came out in a burst of activity over a single week. Aaron would only get a few hours of sleep each night and was almost working round the clock in the studio. His activities were so frenetic and continuous that he left the paints out, and would merely spray them so they remained wet and fresh.
