Statement on the work

My work expresses ideas about PICTURE – STATE – PLACE with some creative thinking about a picture, a state, and place. My aim is to choreograph stuff in space to form a visual experience.

The work I produced in Ein Hod came about from a notion of wanting to make a bridge of some sort between Wales and Israel, and to express in visual form some of the elements of the state that Israel finds itself in. Joy, pathos and an ability to cling to old ideas I have tried to express through the elements in the work. The title of the work is PICTURE-STATE-PLACE ‘Rocky Lives'. Any other interpretation would be most welcome.
