Micha Ullman's minimalist sculptures and drawings are deeply connected to Jewish sources and traditions. In the 1970s, he began to create trenches and forms embedded into the ground or works made of materials taken from the soil. Using an elemental shape to express the basic concept of home, the artist has scraped and scratched layers of earth-colored paint to convey the impression of dry, cracking dirt. The archetypal shelter in many of his works appears both stable and unsteady.
