AND, SHEVA N'VIOT
– Prophetess Portraits as I Perceive Them in the Rainbow

As a female weaver depicting Judaism in a thousand tapestries, I had been waiting since 2007 for the day I would feel ready to portray these seven remarkable women of the Bible. It finally occurred after January 6, 2022 – a time of unsettling situations inundating the news every day. The desire to weave the prophetesses at this time is combined with a nostalgic longing for reason and for peace and harmony – qualities that are traditionally connected with women. The rainbow seemed an obvious starting point and color reference for planning the series.

All but the eighth tapestry has a green shape as part of the composition, symbolizing nurturing trees and alluding to women long ago as plant gatherers.

- 8 tapestries (series completed).
