Wandering Jew plant
One notebook from a cycle of twelve, created over the past two years. All share the same format: a wanderer’s notebook, drawing inspiration from the Hebrew root נ.ד.ד (to wander). This notebook reflects my life in a place and time of challenge—nights weighed down with worries for both the private and the national home, and thoughts on the meaning of the word home.
I play with the idea of what it would mean if feminine power were to govern the place where we live. What will become of its future? The pages for the monotype prints of the wandering Jew plant were taken from a Reuven Rubin catalogue of his innocent landscapes, while the drawings reference the legendary Battle of the Amazons.
