The paintings on this page were exhibited at the Office gallery in Tel-Aviv in 2015. This body of work combines a return to figurative work while re-exploring the narrative form in visual art. I attempt to apply a narrative that is neither the traditional story on a flat canvas, nor the modern cinematic or snapshot narrativity. With a continued interest in three dimensionality in painting this led to the helical revolving paintings. Physically, these paintings are folded from a flat canvas to form a helical shape, and are presented hanging and revolving, while the painted figures enable the construction of a narrative. The fourth dimension of time is now added and is fused with space so that the viewer is free to reconstruct space, time and narrative in a variety of ways as the helix revolves. Thematically and chromatically, these paintings have a somber mood, reflecting the burden of a history (a moving narrative - personal or collective), but also serving as a soothing prayer as in Buddhist prayer wheels.
