Artwork Description:

Close to Earth Close to Heaven Towards the end of the 2nd Millennium and the beginning of the new one, in the middle of a post modern era, I felt, on one hand, concerned because of the harmful and cumulative influences of social, political and environmental contamination, and on the other hand I cherished the �being�. The "wholeness" of the world concentrated into creative energy, which has led to creative deed. In my works, I dealt with birth and death through disclosing fragments of ancient cultures, renewing them and thus creating a new world. I threw a web with which I covered the world and gathered old cultures and beliefs. With these I created new being out of existing one. I have created a connection between time, space and magic This connection was born out of observation at geological and archeological resources, in different places around the world, far into the distance of ancient civilizations. A special reference was devoted to the ritual ceremonies concerning life and death. Dealing with the �belief� issue has led me naturally, to dealing with subjects such as heaven, cosmos and galaxies. The intensity of the experience has created a synthesis between �Heaven and Earth�. This has brought out the internal observation and outbreak of creation. The visible result is spirituality within the material, expressed, among other things, in an amorphic, cracked, primordial foundation, leading to infinite circular movement. This creates an architecture of space, light and motion. Varda Carmeli
