In my newest work , i work with letters [words] . but since the work `leans` on an ancient tradition, i decided that the letters themselves `must be` or `create` the form. This makes for long thinking times and playing with the letters /words . But slowly they `sort of Do it` on their own.... Of course it helps that i know the Rules that lead tradional works like this. Than it helps that i love using letters and words in many of my works, By this following a long Jewish tradition, and last not least a long Family tradition/inhertance , part of which i wasn`t aware of at all. And only in the last years i learned that My maternal family was also into Textile making, in many ways. Thus using letters to convey a form,. is a pleasure, a mental excercize, and it feels lovely to go in the footsteps of my unknown ancesstors.
