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


MY FLAXEN TANAKH MAP
– The Scriptures Color-Coded
 
With the help of geometrical shapes and logically applied colors (i.e., the color of a specific object becomes the color of the background in the following tapestry), the series gives an artistic and visual overview of the structure and divisions of the Hebrew Bible.
 
The series is divided into five sections. Section A (tapestries 1-5) depicts the 24 books comprising the Bible from Genesis to Chronicles. Section B (tapestries 6- 9) depicts the divisions of the Torah and the Book of Prophets for the traditional weekly synagogue reading. Section C (tapestries 10-13) depicts Biblical text divisions including cantillation marks. Section D (tapestries 14, 15) depicts words. Last, section E (tapestries 16-20) depicts specific smaller Hebrew literary units from word structure to vowel marks.
 
Whether one finds the minutia of the structure interesting or overwhelming, the series’ final tapestry is meant for both inspiration and comfort.
