CARMEL ILAN

Carmel Ilan (born 1960, Jerusalem).  Her method of work features numerous folded papers rising out of a wooden plate.

Originating in the feminist discourse of the late 20th century, her work responds to traditions of female labor and crafts. Strongly connected to her basic material of paper, she questions the emotional response the material evokes, and its contemporary value in an age of digitally archived knowledge.

Her latest trajectory is a reinterpretation of her original technique; she currently chooses to exhibit only photographic representations of her sculptural objects. Replacing material for size value and microscopic vision, she transforms not only the materiality of the works but also their physical impact on the viewer.
