Rusty Memories – video 1

Video description

About 55 seconds: the metal loop sculpture – dark, rusty loops with thin antenna-like tips – on a blue-grey glass base turns slowly against a white background, so it can be seen from every side. (no sound)

The main video plays automatically, on a loop and without sound. You can stop it at any time with the "Pause video" button or the player controls. If your device is set to "reduce motion", it will not start by itself.

Sculptures

Rusty Memories

A new sculpture, one of a pair. Four rusted, twisted metal hoops wrapped in layers of patina, and a stone from the sea. Remnants of time that carried the waves and the breath of the sand on their backs. I gathered them into a new form, and now they tell a different story.

The raw material

This is how the material looked before it was worked into the sculpture. The video does not play automatically and has no sound; a written description appears below it.

  • Raw materials before assembly

    Video description

    About 32 seconds, filmed in the workshop: rusted rods and supports, a long curved loop and branching pieces lie on a light-blue work table; a person handles the pieces. In the original soundtrack (the video on this site has no sound) the speaker says, among other things, “אלה החיזוקים … כולה חלודה … זה עגול” (these are the reinforcements … it is all rusted … this is round). The film shows raw materials before assembly, not a finished sculpture. (no sound)

    About 1½ minutes: the metal loop sculpture – thick, rough, rusty rings with one tall thin curving tip – on a blue-grey glass base, turning against a white background; in the second half the camera moves in for close-ups of the loops, with patches of green patina and traces of red and yellow paint.
