Layers in gold Sculpture - Limited Edition of 10

I was born in Tel aviv 1948.I am a sculptress who creates outdoor sculpture and sculptural stone reliefs. The stone-like reliefs are usually inspired by desert landscapes and the special sand rocks by the sea shore. however very straight and "engineered" lines may also be found in my works.I deal with the soft and fragile "inside". The partial revealing of the inside happenings and its enigma,and the tough and stiffened surface. I opened the sculpture workshop in 1987. In its inception it was a ceramic sculpture workshop. Starting in 1995, I developed a technique based on the sand casting method. This technique opened the door to a plethora of possibilities of expression. Ever since then I have worked without any restrictions on the work's size, volume or scope. The "smart" material is diluted and lightweight, such that people can see large-scale complex works on plaster walls. www.ilana-aviv.com
