Great Regulars: I started working on it when the world felt

the war in Iraq was inevitable. The day it began, I was at my studio working on the piece and listening to the explosion of bombshells on the radio. There was nothing to depict but to feel; visualization dominated observation. I dealt with the present but the process evoked a great deal of memory, social and personal, and time lost its boundary. I titled the piece "A-Day" and in doing that I marked time, the time of my inspiration, which happened to be timely and historic. [--Kebedech Tekleab]
