Veils and Dreams (1991)
mixed media on paper
90 x 97 cm. (35.5″ x 38″), irregular

As I continue to sort through slides and prints and post to my gallery, I am occasionally surprised by work that I have forgotten about. The above piece is one of those. It is a one of a kind piece with print elements, drawing and cheesecloth.

Other than the slide, which fortunately was labelled, I could find no records of it nor could I find the piece either. Perhaps there are some notes in an old sketchbook? Did I sell it or trade it or destroy it? This is not very professional of me!

I am happy to have found this image and am rather fascinated by it. It is for me a revisit of a period where I seem to have combined elements from two print series, the Veils Suite and Dreams.

short shorts

‘Short shorts’ is qarrtsiluni’s summer theme. If you haven’t yet, do read the eclectic and thoughtful submissions so far. Consider submitting your piece of writing, art or photograph.
Rachel’s Chevra kadisha is movingly beautiful and sad. It made me think of one of my favourite etchings Albumblatt II which is there now. I hope you agree that it has something of the spirit of Rachel’s words even if it isn’t an accurate representation.
