July 2013 Tonight the 7th biennale for Israeli ceramics opens. Imprinting on clay - Cultural memory in Israeli ceramic art. The curator - Anat Gatenio. You can read about it here - http://www.eretzmuseum.org.il/e/282/ There are 66 artists, including me...My piece is called - Proper Dress. I've always been interested in women's dress and the connection to women's status in society, in different times. On the one hand, advance, progress on the other - oppression, holding back ( and I'm talking about the western society...) I started out with tons of information and images... Then came the editing and sorting stage, Anat the curator, was a huge help. I was getting attatched to the images..but once she got me going, the editing felt good and turned the lots of information into a tight cohesive bunch of information.
The result is a 6 meter long strip of tiles, picturing western women's inner and outer attire from ancient greece to the 20's of the twentieth century. Much has changed or maybe not ?
