Overlay screen painting – Uncle Sam praying

I conceived the idea for this piece and began to work on it about a week after the attacks. First, I produced a detailed painting of the south tower just after impact while the north tower is burning. In the original plan I was going to put the traditional Uncle Sam pointing his finger in revenge and retribution. During the three weeks it took me to paint the burning towers I learned more about the Afghani people and their plight and poverty. By the time I was ready for the over painting of Uncle Sam I just couldn't paint revenge. So I changed it to Uncle Sam praying for guidance.

What kind of mind devises the use of planes for death and destruction?

What kind of a mind can kill civilians including women and children?

What kind of a mind doesn’t regard his own men’s lives?

What tragedies will this evil, black-hearted mind devise next?

Artist's Bio & Statement

Nancy Steinmeyer has been a professional artist for over 31 years, working full time on her art for the past 19 years.    Her various media and methods include drawing, 3-D paintings, mixed media constructions, murals and paper sculptures.   She has shown her work all over the county including the Sears Tower in Chicago, the West Bend Art Museum in West Bend, WI and Charleston Heights Arts Center Gallery in Las Vegas, NV.   Her work can be found in both public and private collections including the Illinois State Museum and Lt. Governor Corrine Wood.

3-D painting technique - I have developed a method for showing two separate images at the same time. The second image painted on screen wire is suspended a few inches over the first. The final result is the viewer is able to see both images or ideas at the same time.

The Landscapes - I’m interested in the rapid loss of natural land to new development and the environmental consequences of this change.

A 911 Response - September 11, 2001 changed my work. Often when I’m trouble about something I can purge my feelings through my artwork. Upon beginning this series I didn’t know where it would take me or for how long. I began each piece by looking at photographs searching for the combination of images that would help me express the emotion I was feeling at that time. I never started the next piece before finishing the last one.
