| The
Shabbat Window is the climax to all of creation and shows examples
of all the things created. Fish, plants, snakes and mammals
are each rendered in sandblast etching and painting. A
cat peeks out of the composition at the viewer.Stars radiate
in the sky. Pomegranates bloom. A butterfly wings among
the figs. This window was completed in 1984. After
it's completion it was displayed at the Palos Verdes Art Center's
exhibit of contemporary Judaica, before installation in 1985.The
inspiration for the design comes from Abraham Joshua Heschel's
idea of the Shabbat as the space in creation where one's spirit
can refresh itself and relax from the hub-bub of a self-replicating,
ever-expanding creation. |
