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 forty-four?
no. of candles used on chanukah (including shamesh)
44 is a happy number. 4² + 4² + 32, 3² + 2² = 13, 1² + 3² = 10, 1² + 0² = 1
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Marvin Gaye, Billie Holiday, Jackson Pollock and Baruch Spinoza all died aged 44.
and in bingo, the number forty-four is known as 'droopy drawers' - which makes me very happy.
