December 2020  Not by the Dress Alone | MOTS Museum 2020  

“The exhibition “Not by the Dress Alone” will expose us to images through which we shall learn about clothes and those who wear them. Do clothes teach us something about ourselves? About our origin, our financial status, the reality in which we live in? We often measure people according to the clothes they wear instead of to their values, their skills, and their objective worth.” – curator Raphie Etgar

Honored to be part of this group exhibition which opened its doors on the 3rd of December. 

We live in a world in which the brand, the price tag, or the logo are what define our attitude to our surroundings, and vice versa, and we ask ourselves, do we make the clothes or do the clothes make us? And if so, why do clothes carry such an important role in our lives, since the day we first covered ourselves with a fig leaf we came across in the Garden of Eden?

The exhibition can be visited at the Museum on the Seam (MOTS). 4 Heil Handassa Street, Jerusalem. For more information visit their site

December  2020    Reflection | Group Exhibition 2020  

The “Reflection” exhibition is a three-dimensional dialogue between artistic inspiration, a pencil-on-paper architectural sketch, and a three-dimensional art creation.

The architect selected for me is Avner Koblenz from “UrbanGap” Architecture, Tel Aviv.

Honored to take part of this group exhibition!

Curators: Sima Barber & Ronit Dayan Vishovki

 

The exhibition is on show at the Omer Tiroche Gallery, Old Jaffo, Israel from the 23rd till 31st of December 2020. Be welcome to visit!

November  2020    Portraits | Art and Museum interview 2020  

A wonderful personal interview by Monique Bakker from Art and Museum. What it was like for me to emigrate with my family from the Netherlands to Israel. How in my artworks, I use paper to give shape to the displaced feeling, the uprootedness that I experienced while living in a completely different culture. A country where there can be war and at the same time people are enjoying the beach. Where I move in between people with whom I have not shared a childhood. What I’d lost, but most of all, what I  found there?
