An Alchymy of Alphabets

Original Media:

Description:
There have been myriad renditions of the Hebrew alphabet throughout history on stone, carved in wood, in manuscripts, books, art and calligraphy, but I've rarely seen any that explore these beautiful letterforms outside the box of their traditional appearance. In 2008, for my portfolio with PaperRoad Art Licensing LLC, I designed a group of illustrated English alphabets whose theme defined the shape of each letter. This year, I've decided to work that concept into the Hebrew alphabet. With Scroll, or Galilah, one in a series of four new illustrated Hebrew alphabets, I was inspired by the wimpel or the winding cloth that holds the Torah together beneath its cover. In the process I realized that as the wimpel binds the Torah, so do our words bind and compel our humanity.
