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.

sacrifice
All of these omer drawings were done in a small sketchbook, and so they were not something I expected to see together. And then, thanks to Yair Medina of the Jerusalem Print Studio, who made a beautiful gilcee print of the drawings, that faithfully show the pencil lines and delicate watercolour. A print is currently on display at the Jewish Museum in London, as part of their Sacrifice show.
the print is approx 70 x 70 cm. please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a print.
