The seven drawings that comprise Sephirot are a "game piece" that take my ongoing time-based work into an exploration of omer, the seven-week period between Passover and Shavuot. Each week is sequentially represented by a Star of David, containing seven geometric elements. Using events of Jewish concern as a parameter, I created a drawing each day throughout this period. For the duration of the omer I became the proverbial "wandering Jew", and the drawings chronicle my journey. The omer binds the notion of Passover's freedom to Shavuot's practice of ritual. The ritualistic parameters and constraints that I select afford me greater creative freedom.
