Habitat

Mixed media triptych While exploring connections among individuals and within communities, we recognized that connecting with inner self and with our ‘habitat’ is equally important. This mixed media triptych explores our inner ‘diversity’, our natural environment and our relation with it, as well as our place in the universe – an ultimate ‘habitat’. Finding the […]

Alter Ego

Masks – Anthropology, Art and Covid Our identity is expressed in different ways, but most often through facial expressions -a mirror of our souls. Smile, wrinkled forehead, eyes shining with excitement or drowning in tears. But, we often cover our face – out of necessity, or belief, or deceit, or playfulness – to assume an […]

Community

Neurographic Installation Community is a foundational unit of the society, no matter what cultural or historical background it originates from. I am not anthropologist or social scientist, just an observer…it seems to me that the community is much more than a sum of individuals forming it. Individuals and groups forming and integrating into a community […]

(Artistic) Boundaries

Mixed media Mixed media is a blast!. I imagine that it emerged when an artist, exploring the core medium to (personal) limits, felt compelled to reach for another to break out of limiting boundaries…and, in doing so, oppened up limitless possibilities. Today, there are no boundaries. Any combination of artistic media (and objects) is accepted […]

ZenTangle

Pattern drawing Zentangle popped-up, unexpectedly, while we were engulfed in creating neurographics for the ‘Connections‘ project. Mostly because some pattern doodling into neurographic shapes could not be subdued by the prescribed neurographic ‘algorithm’. Zentangle is another type of meditative drawing that uses a mix of repeated shapes and patterns (tangles) – dots, lines, basic curves […]

Spaces around us

Landscape architecture Surroundings shape our mood, our esthetics and feeling of well-being. Sometimes we find beauty and inspiration in an unruly natural garden, other times in designed harmony of minimalist architecture. Spaces that we encounter in our daily lives can be unremarkable or disturbing, a canvas of a social bunt – or tranquil and meditative […]
