You may have to enlarge this to see it is a bird.
At the Artist's House of the Negev in the old part of Beer Sheva, each of a handful of artists was given a dead tree and asked to give it life with art.
Now the trees are exhibited in the gallery's yard.
Ingrid Neuman called hers "Inyan shorshi," which could mean a matter of roots (or, of rootedness).

So special! I also like the great shadow in photo no 2
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the bird sculpture feels quite natural for that withered tree, which is quite a beautiful thing in and of itself.
ReplyDeleteIs there any more information about the dead tree art? I love this.
ReplyDeleteGotta say, they echo tombstones for me. Not my cup. . . . Your photos are interesting shadow studies though!

Alice, shalom. Sorry, I couldn't find information online about the dead tree art project or this artist. I visited the gallery but briefly with a big guided group (a "Jane's Walk"). Will have to return alone with lots of time and ask questions. Stay tuned. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Love the top shot.
ReplyDeleteDina, thank you for the link to the Portuguese cinema festival out there. Believe it or not, I haven't heard of it... Don't miss "Alice" if you have the chance. Hope the opening documentary makes justice to Fernando Pessoa's "Lisbon Guide".Coincidently, I recently offered the book to some British friends, it's wonderful!
Jose, probably I won't get up to Haifa or Jerusalem for the movies.

A bit strange, but I can like it!
ReplyDeleteA great idea to turn dead trees into art. The bird looks a little scary to me, though :)
ReplyDeleteI like that a lot! The perched bird is really cool :)
ReplyDeletei just love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful idea. I wish I could see all the trees.
