MENORAH SERIES (JUDAICA, ETROG, APPLE AND HONEY)

Size Framed: 560 x 255mm
Medium: Pen drawing on paper

In this series of pen drawings, the artist focuses on the traditions of three Jewish festivals, as caught sight of through the panes of the family Judaica cabinet. For Rosh Hashana, an apple being dipped in a honey jar, for Chanukkah, a Menorah being lit, and for Sukkot, a Lulav and Etrog with an Etrog box. The artist employs a monochromatic medium to reflect the neutrality of the tone of the silver of the objects, which glean their warmth and colour from the rich hues of the flames, the foods, and the holy items they contain and support.
