More
than a year before the infamous 9-11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center,
in an eerie, almost prophetic coincidence, Duane created a series of ceramic
sculptures titled "Plane Cups" for an upcoming art show. The tall
vessels featured handles in the shape of partial fuselages which seemed to penetrate
the sides of the cups. Fifteen months later planes pierced the sides of the
Twin Towers. Duane's pieces, conceived as art and born from imagination, took
on new meaning. Realizing that it is often the nature of art to be irreverent
or controversial, he has decided to continue the series.
