Eddy Shuldman
Hebrew letters often dance across a fanciful screen in my mind. Translating this dance of images becomes a meditative experience As I journey deeper into the meanings and fight the limitations that a solid yet fragile medium, like glass, offers. As I cut and shape the glass I find myself singing a niggun: a wordless tune or actual verse that inspires my art. The rest of my world fades away, I lose track of time, and I become fully absorbed in meanings beneath meanings beyond meanings. The product of my meditation is rarely as complex as the journey I have taken. I laughingly refer to my work as ‘shiny, pretty things’.... but beneath that language is a hidden urge to share my relationship with the sacred.
