Acrylic on canvas with collaged oil on book cover
Artist’s Statement: The curtains have opened and the Torah is shining. Zion is a concept. It is a place. It is a sign and it is our home. This painting began as a landscape, painted in earth tones of the hills surrounding Jerusalem. Two years later I added the magenta curtains. They frame the pathway and form a doorway into the bright landscape. A few years later I collaged half a book cover painted with Torah scrolls onto the landscape. Only then was the picture of Jerusalem complete and the painting got its name "The Torah goes out from Zion."
