▶ The purpose of the exhibition is to show the great potential of this special art and to create a dialogue about art in the public space, emphasizing ceramic wall murals – as a reminder of a culture that existed in Israel for about thirty years.   Wall of Craft is an invitation to architects, developers, artists, designers, contractors, and lecturers in academic institutions – to make a change in architectural practice and utilize the potential of creating new contemporary ceramic murals.

▶ Technique: 3D printing for mold-making, manual mixing of ceramic material, and press molds.

In her book Ancient Pottery (1973), Rivka Gonen describes ceramic vessels found in Hazor, in a house that was inhabited during the first half of the 8th century BCE.

One type of vessel discovered was a pakh, a round, flat vessel with a rounded base and two handles. This vessel, which could not stand upright on its own, was used to carry liquids, much like a modern day canteen. This may suggest that someone in the household was preparing for a journey.

The book includes sketches of various vessels found in the house. I gave these drawings a visual interpretation in the form of reliefs, as a symbol of the culture and everyday use of pottery that once existed here. The vessels that were found were neither arranged neatly on a shelf nor entirely intact and so they are presented in the tile series as well.
