Pomegranates
January 25, 2016
Artist Statement: Pomegranates are one of the most quintessential Jewish fruits. Their specific mention in the Torah, their esoteric meaning and their use as both an artistic object, a decorative object and a utilitarian object throughout our history make it a perfect subject matter.
It is uniquely beautiful both on the outside and the inside with skin that ages like human skin and interior that evokes a feminine potency.
There is something about them that speaks to our souls and attracts our eyes more than any other fruit. I never tire of depicting them in all of their variety and stages.

Artist’s Statement: Two doves represent peace and harmony, the female and male, and the connection of unity. The tallit above is the garment worn during prayer; it is also the fabric sometimes used to create the chupah or canopy used during wedding ceremony. The chupah represents the surrounding light between the male and female; it symbolizes the “home” that the couple will build together.
