Artist Statement: The concepts developed in N.Y. were based on extensive interest in ancient religions and assisted also by talks with my teachers Will Insley and Luccio Pozzi. They served to direct my work for several years afterwards. It is at this period that Olive columns and Earth Chamber were conceived and developed to be actually realized in Jerusalem much later. During the study period at The School of Visual Arts, I had the unique opportunity of working from several human models, available specifically for my artwork.
