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 depicts my visual experience of the literal meaning of Biblical place names when I contemplate the translations. I tend to ‘see’ in my head what I hear and read. I transform sounds and meaning into my own expressions of shapes and colors.
 
The series is set in the cyclical twenty-four-hour course of one day. According to the Tradition, the Jewish day starts and ends at sunset. 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.
