Artist's statement:  

 

The series Q-12 was born from the suggestion of the Hebrew characters my daughter was studying. I never start from a “message” in my work. That can come perhaps later, almost by itself. I believe in the power of matter—colors, shapes, and texture—to build sense and meaning. We just have to follow it. I love collage because it is a wonderful medium to experiment with and one that can develop a great wealth of suggestions, infinitely moving in multiple directions.
