I created this work in a difficult period. I was barely breathing without making art. I did not have the strength. Cutting out pictures from the newspaper Ha’aretz seemed safe. And not too tiring … Thanks to the subscription, I was able to look through the fragrant pages on Friday mornings. I did not have the strength to read. I just cut the pictures out.
Initially, the cuttings were ment to decorate the doors of the cabinet in the nursery. Surprisingly, the project was more durable than furniture. The cabinet fell apart, but the doors remained.
For almost a year, me and my eldest daughter Maayan, who was then 4 years old, have been chosing the pictures and glueing them for our both enjoyment. Over time, I felt that this work gives healing to the soul and freedom to the thought. I liked the doors. I finished the project in several days of intensive work. Mayan’s proposals and cooperation helped me a lot.
The collage was exhibited at a group exhibition in the Art Gallery “Asylum of Art – Jerusalem Gallery”.
At the moment the work is at my house and pleases my children.
