Illuminated Letters: Threads of Connection - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Inspired by traditional Jewish techniques of uncovering layers of meaning in sacred texts, Illuminated Letters: Threads of Connection both describes and enacts an artist process of translating traditional Jewish texts into images by award-winning artist Sara Harwin. The installation's imagery derives from Hebrew root words, "shoreshim," found in classically significant lines of Torah. (p'sukim) The ancient, universal language of sacred geometry is incorporated, conveying the uniqueness of Hebrew in its capacity to evoke glimpses of reality and awareness beyond what is apparent.

To further reveal the spiritual power of Hebrew, written root reflections are included from leading scholars, clergy and authors with the option to add one's own for juried consideration towards inclusion at each of the exhibition's travels. Whether new to Hebrew, or an expert, Illuminated Letters makes the mystical accessible, empowering the viewer's understanding and appreciation of the Hebrew Scriptures as "a garment of the Divine".
