The pursuit of\u00a0sailing <\/a><\/span>activates longing and yearning.<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is linked in my mind to some kind of <\/span>OVER THERE<\/span><\/a> in the horizon; The hope that there will be some\u00a0 answer,\u00a0 the wish to fill a desire or thirst.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The experience of longing is\u00a0attached to my childhood memory of the slow\u00a0process of approaching to a port. While observing\u00a0it through the mist and the vast blue space,\u00a0the soul is getting closer to the unknown.<\/span><\/h3>\n

This yearning through imagination is beautifully written and drawn in\u00a0 The Notebook of Signs.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Artist Avraham Ofek <\/a><\/span>wrote\u00a0there that artists’ imagination ability evolved from their ancestors; Their ancestors\u00a0–\u00a0the fishermen, were observing deep water. As they perceived school of shapes, ripples, and waves –\u00a0they could visualize what\u00a0fish is waiting for them deep under. <\/span><\/h3>\n

This is how \u201cArtist are the off-springs of fisherman” – as he wrote.<\/span><\/h3>\n

OFEK in Hebrew means horizon; his art influenced me deeply and I miss him even though I never met him.<\/span><\/h3>\n

These\u00a0 laboratory cards are from Abraham Patchornik’s <\/a>archive.\u00a0[my father]. I palimpsest\u00a0 them with\u00a0hieroglyphs from Abraham Ofek art. They are a part of an installation called\u00a0 “Mending Tools”<\/span><\/a> – that was exhibited <\/span><\/span> at the <\/span>Agasi Library <\/span><\/a><\/span>in the <\/span><\/span>Museume of art,\u00a0Ein Harod<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
