I found myself tidying up my home at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreaks. It was our first lockdown: confined to our houses, allowed to walk only 500-square meters from the house.
I happened to come across boxes with all kinds of objects that I'd collected over the years. My hands started to tell me that I needed to create something from all this stuff—something three dimensional. I clearly needed to take a break from the domain of my computer's flat screen and create something altogether different.
When I came across the Styrofoam head, I knew I'd found my next field of creative work.
The concept of designing these “Talking Heads” emphasizes recycling materials. Different materials sourced from different worlds: nature (Natural Beauty); plastic waste from the kibbutz factory (Lady Avatar & The Woman in Red); and leftover medical products (Ms. Corona and Lady Dia-betic).
Whatever I found that spoke to me and caught my imagination.
Now I just need to find more Styrofoam heads. Used, of course, since this work is all based on recycling materials.
