These were in “Unspooled” at Fountain Street in June, 2019, a show with the gorgeous sculptures of Sylvia Vander Sluis.
They arose out of my previous work with letters in Hebrew and Arabic. Those paintings were symbols of coexistence. In these, I’ve shifted my view from the Middle East, with its conflicts, its cultures and colors. Now I'm allowing a new subject to emerge, both more personal and more universal at the same time. Some of the images seem to celebrate stellar bodies in orbit, and others seem to create a sphere of protection for animals.
