Entwined Rhythms Of Making

In this artwork, “Entwined Rhythms of Making”, Bev pays homage to her Bobba’s suffering and survival after escaping Lithuania and evading the Holocaust. On rummaging through her grandmother’s drawers as a child, Bev found scraps of materials and buttons and neatly folded and already used gift wrapping paper, a collection of things that others would have tossed away as trash. Using these scraps, Bev has created something of enduring and abiding beauty as a witness to her ancestors – part of her rhythm of making.
