Vera Tamari

Bas-relief and sculptures of Vera Tamari are constructed from fragile slabs of clay that tell of the fragility of life in the West Bank. Tamari also works on paper, often making collages in the same way that she assembles her ceramic sculptures. Pieces are brought together for the logic of the work without the need to make them fit into a rectangular outline. Much of Arabic wall abstractions made of assembled and inlaid marble, wood or glass influence her work. These techniques are similar to the marble inlays of the Dome of The Rock in Al Quds.
