Using netting as her primary art medium, Miriam gives new meaning to the word “fibers” that she uses to create her works of art. Generating a new type of fabric, the artist captures paper, threads and fibers on transparent netting. Constituting a grid, the netting symbolizes a world composed of square elements, reflective of our personalities and experiences. Using layers of texture on transparent netting, the artist manages to create a special effect of light shining through together with a feeling of depth. All these are informed by the spiritual attributes that the fibers carry, as a Jewish interpretation of Psalm 35 says: “Every fiber of our body is intimately linked with the Creator”.
