I tread on the m che' with my feet and I sometimes use my teeth, and of course my hands are always working. I am also using my mind when I work. I sometimes have to talk with the material so I can figure out the character of what I'm making. |
I use a special plastic glue, but the material is very dynamic and it can be rougher or smoother depending on how you mix it. |
It can take up to three days for one piece to dry, depending on how thick it needs to be. |
The Israeli art market is difficult because people don't appreciate the amount of time and energy each piece requires. They see a piece and think it's made out of newspaper so they evaluate its worth based only on the material. They don't realize that I make every piece of it and that it takes many hours. |
