perspective 1 b: the technique or process of representing on a plane or curved surface the spatial relation of objects as they might appear to the eye; specif: representation in a drawing or painting of parallel lines as converging in order to give the illusion of depth and distance. 2 a : the interrelation in which a subject or it's parts are mentally viewed; b : the capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance -Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary 10th ed.
The works in this exhibit represent, not one single concept, but an anthology. A collection of poems composed, not in English or Hebrew, but in pigment and medium, and sweat. On the surface, these are works using the visual tool of linear perspective. They are, I think, aesthetically pleasing and can be viewed as just such. Deeper, however, is the notion that these shapes are my visual language with which I discuss my "perspective" on the world around me. Forms that are strong, imposing, monumental, can also be hollow... empty.
These works talk about relationships. Human relationships. Spiritual relationships. Forms stand alone, intersect, unite. They are sometimes lonely, or painful. While for myself, and the viewer, I try leave room for multiple "perspectives" within a single piece, there are some precise, mathematical expressions that narrate the relationships of the forms.
