Artist Statement

מגן1 (1).jpg

Usually I work with industrial leftover, discarded, abandoned and damaged objects, that have lost their place in the world. These qualities resonate my own need of belonging and establish the intimacy so crucial for my work. It is thus important for me to maintain the identity and dignity of these materials - as if collecting souvenirs; reviving them, adopting them - recharging them with unfounded imaginary functionality. Establishing a place for them and for myself in this world, attaching both them me and the work to what is real.

 

My work revolves around the question of how fantasy creates reality and how reality disintegrates back into someone else’s fantasy. The use of given found objects serves as anchor, planting the works in a concrete and specific surrounding, in everyday life. The concrete elements serve me as a platform for prolific strokes of imagination, thus creating new legends and symbols as an attempt to build a poetic shelter - a structure of an inner world that would enable one to dwell in this world. One of the most important element of my work is intensity: the intensity of material, the intensity of shape, the intensity of the work in space, and the intensity of the artist at work.
