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-seven?
47 is an in-joke in Star Trek, popping up in most episodes. it came from one of the writers who was taught by Prof Donald Bentley at Pomona College, California, as a joke mathematical proof that all numbers are to equal 47. 47 has now been taken up by the film director JJ Abrams and used in many of his works.
