who knows 1 to 50 is a daily drawing project to count the days of the omer. The omer is the period of time from the freedom festival of pesach to the festival of receiving knowledge on Shavuot. it is seven weeks, 7 x 7 days, with Shavuot as the 50th day. each day I will draw barley grains that correspond to the number of the day, exploring the poetry of the numbers.

who knows eleven?
eleven are the stars in Joseph's dream

Apollo 11 - space mission of the first humans on the moon
7:11 ratio of the Great Pyramid
3:11 ratio of the moon to the earth - squaring the circle
there is something not of this world about the number 11
a Hendecagon (11 sided polygon) cannot be constructed using a compass and straight edge - unlike all the polygons so far. so this is the first drawing that was a bit of guess work and a lot of trial and error.
