Cycling Through My Mind
A map of my daily bicycle journey from my apartment in Bakaa to my studio near the Jaffa Gate. It merges words and thoughts, memories and resonances, history and musings, the ancient and recent past with my very present quotidian reality.
It’s my own little experiment to see if I could map my own personal realities onto a single sheet paper. To do that I set out some simple words and a handful of direct images.
The edition is strictly limited to one hundred forty signed and numbered highest quality giclee prints done on 240 gram Arches Fine Art Paper.

Multi-Dimensional Jew
Limited Edition Print
What might a map of all of Judaism look like? What do we stand for? What kind of place could be imagined that would present the specific Jewish responses to life’s big, human concerns. As part of my large Garden of Jewish Exploration project I began with such a map.
This print is a two dimensional artistic rendering of the original 3-D model I made of Judaism. It is a kind of Jewish mandela where each of us can visualize ourselves as being in the little hole at the very center. Surrounding us, embracing us, is our entire tradition presented as six questions. What’s behind me? What surrounds me? What is deep inside me? What is above me? Whom do I face? What’s ahead of me?
The print is oriented in the Hebrew manner with the past to the right and the future to the left.
This question-based conceptual map is called The Multi-Dimensional Jew. Indeed, we are all multi-dimensional Jews. We each live in a world of questions. We each live within reach of a precious tradition that has grappled with these questions for thousands of years. This attempt at mapping our Jewish world is a kind of Compass Rose to help orient us within this vast, diverse, all encompassing, and colorful tradition.
The edition is strictly limited to one hundred forty signed and numbered highest quality giclee prints done on 240 gram Arches Fine Art Paper.
