Debbie Oshrat - From the Spider Series, 2020. ”The Spider Works from the Exciting Exhibition” Noga to the Heart ”by the artist following the collapse of her daughter Noga, who was mentally abused by her army commander. Twelve years after the incident, just as she was graduating from high school and about to get married, post-trauma broke out. Throughout her period of distress she wrote, and about two years ago she asked me to read the texts. It was a long and complex process during which I realized I wanted to produce art from these passages. '' Embroidery and ink on a bed of used tea bags (sewn together into a work bed) 22/28 cm  Signed The process with the tea bags and texts begins with the preparation of a ”work surface” - I collect the bags, dip them, dry them, empty them and then connect a bag to a bag with a thread and needle and create a fabric. There are fabrics that I leave as they are and there are some that I dip in black Japanese ink.” Meet Debbie Oshret (1954), an Israeli artist living and creating in Ramat Hasharon. '' I paint and create collages (Ready Made) from used tea bags, on which she works in a mixed technique (Mixed Media) that combines embroidery, coloring and drawing. This is how I revive old material and correspond with the world of kraft and ancient female crafts in the language of the great mother, the ”wild woman”, and turn them into a contemporary, topical, living and kicking world. . . I was born to Holocaust survivor parents. The beginning of my work with the tea bags was due to the number tattooed by my mother, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. The sight of the aging arm took me on a quest for a substrate that would have as much texture and color as possible to the skin of the aging body, allowing me to touch and loosen the ”bond of silence.” Noga Lalev (The Spiders Series) February 2021 - N.D.
