Seven quilts total size 144\u201dw x 50\u2033h
\nquilt size 18\u201dw x 50\u201dh
\nDate of completion June 2009<\/p>\n

This commission was an opportunity to explore another element of nature \u2013 trees and fruits, with the synagogue\u2019s interest in a biblical connection. The Hebrew Bible describes Israel as a land blessed with seven fruits and grains called the seven species. Challenged and inspired by the vast wall dimensions, I created the quilts in 7 panels and introduced the topography of Israel in the background and created unity in the piece. The beautiful wood frame was created by craftsman Bernard Henderson.<\/p>\n
