The Wall, Jerusalem, 2024
Art Quilt with Silk Fusion
24.5 x 29 inches

This quilt is an original design based on many photographs I have taken of The Wall in Jerusalem. Orthodox men and boys are silhouetted against the structure as they pray. The wall's stones are created from pieces of silk fusion, a material I make by hand from unspun silk fibers. Vegetation is embroidered onto the stones and thread painting finishes the look of cracking and chipping in the ancient boulders.

Selected for comment at the Image City Photography Gallery, the reviewer noted, “For me, this is a serene seascape, equally full of hopefulness, sublime beauty and melodious emotion. . . I look upon this man as not just a fisherman, but as a conductor of an invisible orchestra, his upraised fishing rod being a baton that sweeps across the vast expanse, releasing his thoughts, his emotions, his wishes and his prayers into the great unknown.
