Their Inspired has always been the materials themselves rather than ideas that come from within. Other influences that have captivated me include my cultural background. My grandmother, who is still alive at the age 104, emigrated from Afghanistan to Israel in the 1920s. She carried her baby for most of the 2000 mile journey. This baby was my father.
At one point, she visited a museum featuring jewels from Afghanistan. As she walked through the gallery, she was amazed. She noticed the parallels between the artifacts on display and my own work.
