195. P-548-Z This
is a strongly carved bas-relief -- in its 'natural
stone' coloring and in it's stark detail, reminiscent of the
petroglyph carvings and drawings found in Europe and the
American Southwest. Faktor
was born in Israel where she studied both sculpture and
ceramics. Both painter and ceramist, she is, perhaps, best
known for her colorful bas-reliefs of Israeli village
themes, this piece being atypical and
unusual. Photo
at left, taken with a flash, shows the depth of carving and
the undulating surface of the plaque.
