Working on my ikat scroll

2006: Graduated with the "Wanderings", an installation composed by integrating several large-format oil paintings with a twelve meter monumental textile scroll, made by the "ikat" process, a special technique inspired by the native nations. The installation was part of the "Year of Jewish Culture" festival a yearlong cycle of events which mark the centennial of the Jewish Museum in Prague. It was part of the exhibition "Form of the Scroll" at the Robert Guttmann Gallery in Prague, which explored the phenomenon of the scroll in Judaism, as a means of preserving and transmitting texts.
