”Rubies and Sunshine” is the partner print to “Rimonim.” It is a four plate Photopolymer Intaglio, alluding to childhood memories of finding the most beautiful shells on the beach after a storm. The composition includes manipulated photos of broken wood, vintage purses, pomegranates and one of my paintings, creating a kaleidoscopic motif. “Rubies and Sunshine” also draws upon the biblical passage known as “Eschet Chayil” from Proverbs 31:10, that describes a woman as being virtuous, strong and of immeasurable value, “far greater than rubies.”
