For thirty years I worked exclusively with oils on canvas or paper. In the year 2004, I made a radical change in the mediums that I was using in my art work. This change opened new avenues to broaden my work. The new work has been exhibited in the United States, Europe, China and Israel, I have given talks on the subject and published articles in magazines. This blog will recount the story of how my artwork evolved.

AMATL

Amatl is the Nahua name for bark paper used by the Pre-Hispanic natives of Mesoamerica. Introduced by the Mayas from Yucatan it soon became a large industry. Thousands of sheets were produced in villages all across the Aztec empire. It was used for religious purposes , and due to its flexibility it was also used to make illustrated books, codices documenting Aztec culture , government ledgers .
