Chava Epstein - To the Source of the Eye cerami / The Jerusalem Artists Houseטלפון - 02-6253653 26/07/2008 to - 26/08/2008 Accompanying Curator: Sasha Okun Chava Epstein uses a color-ceramic technique to sculpt gatherings of figures, posed in an interaction of observation. The figures examine what is there to see, whilst trying to understand the source of the eye/spring (in Hebrew both ''eye'' and ''spring'' come from the same root) that is concealed behind. In the series of meditation cards, ''The innocents journey to the source of the eye'', that relates to introspection, Epstein cast the masks from her own face. Every mask represents a different aspect of life. In ''Little Sumo'' Epstein examines outward observation. In this sculpture the artist created her own figure as a Japanese doll, thus depicting her personal involvement with the enchantment of a foreign culture. Old photos of Epsteins paternal family, some of whom were killed in the Holocaust and others spread around the world, were the source of ''Reunion with the Past''. In this sculpture series the artist examines the past/her past. In the sculpture series ''Observation'' Epstein examines what happens in a gallery space. The eye contact, which occurs between the sculptures and other displayed figures and the viewers, highlights the variety of materials from the spaces of time, place and symbolic existence. location - The Jerusalem Artists House Time - 26/07/2008 to - 26/08/2008 |
