“Belonging Beyond Borders” – new drawings, pints and Cyanotype images featured in Café Berlin 61, Órgiva, Andalucía, Spain from March - August 20234.
My latest exhibition, “Belonging Beyond Borders,” explores the complex theme of finding a sense of belonging in a new land.
The exhibition features original drawings, large scale prints of the drawings, Cyanotype prints, and collaged prints that delve into the struggles of uprooted people, including refugees, asylum seekers and adoptees, and pose poignant questions about leaving the past behind.
My art is inspired by own almost 50 year search for myJewish / Lithuanian / Russian ancestry.
In this latest work I'm examining what gets left behind during the transit and assimilation process, and what makes the feeling of being at home possible. I'm drawing on inspiration from the ancient cultures, faiths and beliefs of the Netherlands, Ireland and Russian Lithuania, lands of my birth-parents’ ancestors.
During the last twelve months my focus has been on the theme of children affected by war, and the resulting trauma experienced particularly by all involved in The Middle East and Ukraine.
All proceeds of the sales of my art go directly to aid projects in Gaza.
