City View #3
This multiplate print engages with the view through the windows at the studio from where I am looking at Jerusalem's Southern parts in which the Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Safafa intersects with the Israeli settlement of GIva HaMatos. The print combines materials purchased and collected in this neighborhood to reflect on the intermingling of lives and the connections and disconnections that are visible in the architecture, landscape, and atmosphere. The details are carved into milk cartons that were brought to the studio by other artists. In the process of carving and printing, I explored the niches and relations of people and place, the material and reflections. The 6 printed panels are assembled into a large depiction of the process and product of this engagement, inviting the viewer to find the stories that are hidden in the streets.
