Consider Roi Klein
glazed earthenware, metal 40x30x9cm
I was inspired to create a sculpture about Roi Klein, a true modern-day hero.
Roi Klein was a Major in the Golani Brigade at the time of the 2006 Lebanon war. During the Battle of Bint Jbeil, a hand-grenade was thrown into the house where Klein and his men were taking cover. Klein immediately told his men, “Report that I’ve been killed”; he recited Shema Yisrael, the quintessential Jewish prayer, as he threw himself on the live grenade and absorbed the explosion with his body.
Roi Klein, a young husband and father of a small son, was killed on the spot but his soldiers were all spared.
Love letter
hand-built porcelain 8x50x60cm
This is a whimsical work, a love letter created out of pure white porcelain.
The actual alphabet is imaginary, a combination of cuneiform and other geometric
shapes, like an elemental writing.

The way we were
porcelain, orange skins, lace, found old copper dish 13x31x28cm
This work connects with memory and nostalgia. The antique copper dish evokes
simpler, less sophisticated times. The dried orange skins reference basic foods. The porcelain shapes are tactile, pure white, slightly varied but all of a type.
The circle arrangement is intrinsically pleasing and balance, with one shape in the centre. The piece works in the round from any point of view.
This also connects with Newton’s Third Law of Motion in choice of groups of materials, but this work is calmer, with greater equilibrium.
