Random Purple Projects
Purple cars go ape was made to fill this space. It was a beautiful cabinet to hold pathology specimens. But as always the powers that be said it was not to remain for health and safety. Grrrrr. So I designed this project where purple cars could use various means to go about their business of …
Imprisoned Ceramic Israels
I went on a course at my sister-in-laws synagogue in Ra’anana to make a ceramic Israel. We had to roll out and decorate the clay using a map. I had time to make 5 and as I had a friend to dry, fire, glaze and fire them I only decorated them by using fabric and …
7 cloned barbies waltz around Jaffa
I bought these 7 barbies as they were wearing purple clothes for my sabbatical exhibition in September 2021. One day they were hiding behind my TV in my flat in Jaffa and my neighbours commented on them and I thought they would make a nice album of how they went around Jaffa to see and …

24 Why does Carly love to go to Greece?
Of course, like everything, there are lots of reasons, Carly muses. It is warm and different from home and not too far. The light of the Mediterranean is magical. When Carly thinks of Greece, she always thinks of this colour combination. Fuchsia pink (of the bougainvillea) Bottle green (of the fir trees) Bright white (of …
23 Carly has a love/hate relationship with jogging
Like many things in life, jogging is probably good for Carly. Her knees are up for it. She has the right sports bra, and some patched up, sort-of-ok trainers. But she can’t really say she actually enjoys jogging. All that talk about the endorphin rush at the end. No. Carly doesn’t experience that. Maybe because she …

22 Carly does Freedom
Carly was not good at being a slave. Being told what to do was something she had always struggled with. Carly didn’t see the point in making bricks which were all the same shape and colour. Carly asked Pharoah if she could make purple bricks instead; he said no. Carly asked Pharoah if she could …
Barbie goes to Thessaloniki in a furry coat
It started as a bit of a joke. My neighbours wondered if my obsession with barbies was kinky or weird. I said both. And on my way to Thessaloniki I was in a newsagent at Savidor train station and found a Barbie with a furry (lilac) coat. So I bought her and took her on …
