Pam Davidson
Harei Ze Challah (set of 2)

Size Framed: 530 x 610mm each
Medium: Pencil crayon and watercolour on baking paper

In this piece, “Zarei Ha Challah”, Pamela blends the ritual of baking Shabbat challah with abstract artistic expression. Using coloured pencils and watercolours on the baking paper, the works capture the delicate impressions left by the loaves. The artist’s compositions evoke biological forms, possibly resembling body parts, and mirror the intricate maps of ancient cartography. The art shifts between microscopic details and expansive patterns, much like fractals in nature. This piece, which is part of a series, reflects on the weekly tradition of baking challah for Sabbath meals, exploring texture and form while delving into deeper themes of family, community, and tradition, blending ritual with visual artistry.
