Abstract:

Excerpt:

You had to be there, watching the river almost become alive. To see it rise, and sparkle in the moonlight, was truly awesome. It was powerful and beautiful. It was an event that wasn't happening to me - it was just happening. It's something that you can then look on as a massive and fantastic event. We moved downtown to a hotel, where we spent the days after the wreckage. We came back after a couple of days and my studio on Canal Street had been completely flooded.
