Dust to DNA: Kevin Clarke and Mikey Flowers 9/11 On the morning of September 11, 2001, a florist and volunteer Emergency Medical Technician named Mikey Flowers grabbed his digital camera and ran the few blocks from his store to the World Trade Center after the first plane hit the north tower. That day he helped people who escaped the towers, tended to the injured, and then ran for his life when the south tower collapsed. When he was able he took pictures of the chaotic scene. The images that Flowers took became the basis of a collaboration with the artist Kevin Clarke, whose studio was also near the WTC. more Ehibition on view: June 28 through September 1, 2002.
