About My Artworks

​

I represent the world through the button - a paraphrase of William Blake's "To see a world in a grain of sand."

 

This familiar and less valuable object used to fasten the garment is perceived as a pretty item, carrying personal and historical emotional baggage, and therefore invites the viewer to an enjoyable visual experience.

The button is a ploy to draw the viewer into the colorful works. Only upon closer inspection will the viewer discover tragic events.

​

I hand-stitch thousands of buttons that express the "exists", buttonholes that represent the "missing" and the "scar", tiny worry dolls and beads.

The viewer, caught in the "ambush" of the colorful materials, suddenly discovers the difficult themes of loss, killing, bereavement and Holocaust.

My artworks are based on historical research and deal with historical events as well as social, feminist, and ecological matters. They have many hidden layers drawn from Jewish sources, mythology, literature, historical, and current events.

​

I often incorporate labyrinths as a feminine motif in my work.

I also design labyrinths for walking in public spaces.
