Cuckoo 2018 Bronze 61x78x41

I found the crow`s skull at the beach. It had been washed ashore by the sea, small and perfect. I wanted to save it forever. I scanned it with a 3D printer in order to enlarge it, creating an exact model Which sat waiting for it`s image. From time to time, I would place the skull on one of my creations but that just wasn`t it. I started a new sculpture of a shy clumsy character, with both legs closed, Lolita with a complex soul. While playing and sculpting with an audience, another tempting figure emerged from her, the closed legs wanted to open up, so we added another pair of legs, outer and wide apart. I wondered who should she be The shy or the coy? She had no head or expression. I placed the crow`s skull on her, and then I saw her, A hybrid androgenous creature, divided and complete I observed her a lot, in order to learn about her and myself, the complexity and the completion. In the end I left all four legs. The shy and the extrovert together. The skull as a timeless gilded jewel.

את‭ ‬גולגולת‭ ‬העורב‭ ‬מצאתי‭ ‬בחוף‭ ‬הים‭, ‬היא‭ ‬נפלטה‭ ‬מהמים‭, ‬מושלמת‭ ‬וקטנה‭.‬ רציתי‭ ‬שהיא‭ ‬תישאר‭ ‬לנצח‭. ‬

סרקתי‭ ‬אותה‭ ‬במדפסת‭ ‬תלת‭ ‬מימד‭ ‬בכדי‭ ‬להגדיל‭ ‬אותה‭, ‬יצרתי‭ ‬דגם‭ ‬מדוייק‭, ‬שישב‭ ‬וחיכה‭ ‬לדמות‭ ‬שלו‭. ‬מפעם‭ ‬לפעם‭ ‬הנחתי‭ ‬את‭ ‬הגולגולת‭ ‬על‭ ‬יצירות‭, ‬אבל‭ ‬זה‭ ‬לא‭ ‬היה‭ ‬זה‭.‬

התחלתי‭ ‬פסל‭ ‬חדש‭ ‬של‭ ‬דמות‭ ‬ביישנית‭ ‬סגורה‭ ‬וגמלונית‭. ‬עם‭ ‬שתי‭ ‬רגליים‭ ‬סגורות‭, ‬לוליטה‭ ‬עם‭ ‬נפש‭ ‬מורכבת‭. ‬תוך‭ ‬כדי‭ ‬משחק‭ ‬ופיסול‭ ‬עם‭ ‬קהל‭, ‬נולדה‭ ‬מתוכה‭ ‬עוד‭ ‬דמות‭ ‬פתיינית‭, ‬הרגליים‭ ‬הסגורות‭ ‬רצו‭ ‬להפתח‭.. ‬אז‭ ‬הוספנו‭ ‬לה‭ ‬עוד‭ ‬זוג‭ ‬רגליים‭, ‬חיצוניות‭ ‬ופסוקות‭ ‬רחב‭. ‬

תהיתי‭ ‬מי‭ ‬היא‭ ‬תהיה‭, ‬איזה‭ ‬רגליים‭ ‬להשאיר‭..‬ביישנית‭ ‬או‭ ‬פתיינית‭? ‬

היא‭ ‬היתה‭ ‬חסרת‭ ‬ראש‭ ‬והבעה‭, ‬הנחתי‭ ‬עליה‭ ‬את‭ ‬גולגולת‭ ‬העורב‭ ‬ואז‭ ‬ראיתי‭ ‬אותה‭. ‬

יצורת‭ ‬כילאיים‭ ‬אנדרוגנית‭, ‬מפוצלת‭ ‬ושלמה‭. ‬

התבוננתי‭ ‬רבות‭ ‬ללמוד‭ ‬אותה‭, ‬אותי‭, ‬את‭ ‬הפיצול‭ ‬בי‭, ‬המורכבות‭ ‬וההשלמה‭. ‬לבסוף‭ ‬השארתי‭ ‬את‭ ‬ארבעת‭ ‬הרגליים‭, ‬הבושה‭ ‬והמוחצנות‭ ‬יחדיו‭. ‬והגולגולת‭ ‬כתכשיט‭ ‬מוזהב‭ ‬ונצחי‭.‬
