Bottled Up

These over-sized bottles suggest undefined origins and mystery surrounding their purpose and use. They could be giant perfume bottles, or used by healers and medicine men. They have no obvious tradition and no known religious symbolism.

They are inspired and evolve from a memory, a dream, a recognition that they have deep meaning for me. A watcher of the treasure. Keeper of the secret.

Castra and the old road to Haifa

Driving to the Castra mall in Haifa on the number 4 road, is like taking a chunk out of the past and jumping back to the sixties, when living at Alonei Yitzchak. The old road to Haifa was the only way to go and it hasnt changed much. Going past Ein Ayala, Kerem Maharal, driving through Feradis, oh what memories this brings back of the hope and dreams when Israel was so uncomplicated and so untrafficked, that the single lane to Haifa was fine for us.

Well its fine for me again. It reminded me of the way things used to be, and revived the hope that perhaps we havent lost our way completely.

I took some pieces to the Castra Gallery which has just reopened today, and discovered the beautiful Castra mall. The ceiling of the dome is gorgeous and its been a while since I have seen such a lovely commercial building. Its situated right next to the grand mall of Haifa so I am not sure how many people are there on a daily basis, but Friday morning is pretty busy. There are galleries and inependent stores rather than the regular chain stores and I do recommend it!!

Make art not war

Trying to penetrate, infiltrate and subvert the consensus.
All I am using is this slogan: END WAR.
Things will not improve as a result of this war. We will only have worse on our hands, and I dont mean only blood. vvvv
