Berit Engen WEFT and D'RASH – A Thousand Jewish Tapestries


MITZRAYIM, B’ER SHEVA, GIVAT ha’ARALOT . . .
– Hebrew Hints and Hooks Found in Translation
 
 Each tapestry is my gut visual response to the literal meaning of Biblical place names when I hear them translated. I tend to see in my head what I hear. The series is set in the cyclical course of one day, which, according to the Tradition, starts in the evening. The tapestries call attention to living with the increasing and decreasing intensity of light combined with the changing colors of the skies as the time indicator.
