Tender Mercies

I love the challenge of taking a 4 x 8 foot sheet of cardboard and coming up with simple forms that have a strong impact. Having very little waste is a consequence and attributing meaning and emotion to the forms is an important part of my process.

There is a word in Hebrew, racham, which can be translated to mean Tender Mercies, a very personal and individualized blessing, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindness, consolation, support, spiritual gifts, gift of faith, personal confidence beyond our own capacity, Repentance and forgiveness, peace of conscience, persistence, fortitude and added cheerfulness. I want these sculptures to embody these words and represent physical amulets.
