Breads inspiration
We came from Israel almost four years ago.
We have found many good things here in US,
but one of the things that we have missed the most is good bread and pastry.
My husband likes to follow the news about food in NYC (he is working there)
and he found that a bread chain from Israel named BREADS has opened a bakery there.
It was immediately obvious to us that we would take the first opportunity to visit there.

Before long we found ourselves sitting there with a friend, eating excellent pastry and enjoying good coffee.
On the way back home many thoughts came to my mind: What is bread for me? for others? Does bread symbolized something? and so on...
Bread is a basic food, a daily food. And, it represents the simple necessity of eating.
How can I bring this pure idea to my art work?
I have chosen to create a shaft (of wheat) to represent the primal shape before it becomes bread.
As a symbol, the wheat or barley shaft represent fertility, abundance and fruitfulness, and gratitude for a good harvest.
