- Biographical Information
- Dara Shuri/Shalom is the name of a type of rug whose design is surimposed over a collage of images to do with the state of Israel. Last year was the 50th anniversary of the formality of that state. The first prime minister was David Ben Gurion whose portrait can be seen on the left of the work. On the upper right is the word Shalom in Hebrew which not only means peace but is also the greeting: halo/goodbye. Underneath shalom, also in Hebrew, are the words Peace Now- the name of a long standing left wing political movement in Israel. There are various other related elements which can be discovered by the spectator. My oldest son lives and works for Micosoft in Israel but also commutes frequently to his office at Microsoft in Redmond, WA. He is currently working on Microsoft 2000. Consequently, I some how feel some personal connection with the training students receive at O.I.T. (Caron, 1998.)
