Sculpture
I
was born in Poland, studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem
and lived with my family in Israel, Tanzania, Peru and now
in the United States. Each place left a profound impression
on my life, social outlook and artistic taste.
My fascination with sculpture and clay began in Peru at the
studios of Felix Oliva and Carlos Bernasconi. They taught
me the basics, and pre-columbian art influenced the form in
which I build my sculptures. I believe my work is a social
comment expressing my love of people by protraying their everyday
life and dreams.
For many years I worked in clay, experimenting with low, high
and pit firing. I added raku firing to my repertoire after
coming to the USA. In high firing, I use very few glazes and
oxides, and only to intensify the character of my sculpture.
Two years ago I began working in bronze and stone. These media
present unique technical challenges, but open a variety of
possibilities in form and texture to express my imagination.
