Debbie Oshrat - from 'your moms pussy' series 2020. Work from the exhibition ”Your Mother's Pussy”, curated by Sheri Golan and will open at the Tzadik Gallery in Tel Aviv, Asherat deals with questions of femininity and gender through tea bags. For example, it simulates a female genitalia and creates rounded and spiral shapes, through which it connects to the ”female savagery”, the creature and the creation. Embroidery and ink on a bed of used tea bags (sewn together into a work bed) 30/23 cm (for two-piece work - total size) 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.
