Lilach Mileikowski — 'Nestled Story, in Red' Sculpture, 2024
$2,250
These works fuse clay with fabric, wire, and screen-printed Hebrew scripts. Consisting of bonded and reiterated elements, they reflect on the basic human need to connect and nature’s malleable way of reproduction. Clay vessels are emblems of our primal necessities, as containers for carrying food and water. In these distinctive works, they are also carriers and supporters of delicate porcelain parchments inscribed with sacred prayers and cherished handwritten words.
