A Shadow is a Promise
Roni Doron
2018
A Shadow is a Promise is an artist book which contains delicate drawings, mainly of imaginary weight of objects held in an imaginary physical space. the drawings are originated from different sensory experiences and their translation into body language, and were collected into a book in order to have the option of looking at them one after another and without the option of seeing them all at once. this enables seeing an image while the last one is still etched in the eye of the beholder.

Roni Doron was born in 1989 in central Israel’s Kibbutz Ma’abarot. She currently lives and works in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Doron holds a BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design’s department of Fine Arts. She paints on shards of plaster walls using what she likes to call “simple materials” and techniques, including gouache, acrylic, pencils, and engraving. In her works, Doron deals with the inter-sensory tensions triggered by paintings, and treats painting as an action that mainly relies on touch. Through her installations, Doron highlights the vulnerable and transient nature of both images and the canvases they were created on.
