Co-laborators

Below is the great company of creatives participating in the 9/11 debris project. We now number about 40! I have been holding off in sending it because individuals have continued to respond to my initial invitation even over the past couple weeks.

The original date for turning around your work is approaching - June 1st - but of course, for the newcomers, I've had to work out some alternative plans. For the rest of you, please finish up and send your work to me by the June 1st deadline. If this seems impossible, lets talk on the phone or email to discern the best way to proceed.

Regarding my safe receipt of your work, please know that June 1st will be my LAST DAY at my New York City address. For all packages and envelopes that would arrive after that date, please mail them to the address in Maine.

Thus far I have loved the conversations had with many of you individually and in group meetings; they surround this project with great anticipation and excitement. As the written and visual works begin to arrive now, I can see and hear the tangible evidence of something great and beautiful coming together, fragments being made whole. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot wait to share it all with you, and look forward to our continued conversations as you finish up your individual works and as I begin to bounce ideas off you while working on my part of the project: sequencing and housing the group in it's final form.

Indeed, it is exciting.

Please don't hesitate to call and leave a message or email with any questions or concerns.
