Exhibition Label: "Conflicting Memories," Oct-2003, Steve Goddard When Tony Fitzpatrick etched his superbly crafted four-color etchings in the fall of 2001 he acknowledged that their evident infatuation with nature and botanical forms was a departure from his usual urban subject matter. Following the attack on the World Trade Center most artists found themselves unable to continue their previous trajectories. In retrospect, Fitzpatrick's etchings are not just a nod to nature, but a response to the catastrophe of 9-11. The prints are autumnal, about the end of a life cycle, and they include provocative themes such as "autumn tower" - at once a towering thunderhead and an echo of an enormous dust cloud.
