Japanese Israeli artist Mirit Weinstock – My Life in Flowers
Information from the Eretz Israel Website about Mirit’s exhibition – my life in flowers.
Mirit Weinstock is an Israeli artist and designer currently based in Japan. Her upcoming exhibition at MUZA, “MY Life in Flowers,” is her first museum exhibition in Israel, and will feature recent works created over the past five years.
Weinstock’s work is concerned with a quest for metaphors capturing humanity’s existential state, which changes as frequently as the surrounding natural world. She forges connections between the worlds of craft and contemporary art, while combining a range of mediums and materials – ceramics, paper, metal and natural vegetation.
The series of works featured in the exhibition will includes moments from her life, as sculpted with seasonal plants and flowers. Her works express the artist’s emotional and personal mood as it resonates in nature, and are concerned with the themes of time and duration. In this manner, Weinstock explores the dialogue between nature, time, space, the cyclical character of life, sculptural actions and drawing. The exhibition space serves as a vessel into which she introduces changing natural life cycles. Her works, which combine living plants that change and perish over time, present viewers to the exhibition with aesthetic realms in the process of withering.
