While visiting Tel Aviv last month, I spent some time exploring Nachalat Binyamin, a weekend artist’s market. I was on a bit of a mission. We we heading to my husband’s family for a few hour lunch, and I was on the hunt for a gift. As it goes, when you’re creatively opinionated and unclear of who’s on the receiving end, I go with something I’d love to get, toned down a bit. When I stumbled upon Merav Danny’s papier-mâché bowls, it was over and I was glued to the table for the rest of the fair. Merging street art, nature and feminine themes, each collage is a work of art worthy of extended distribution. I gravitated towards a torn paper camouflage bowl for the family and bought this cartoon piece for myself. Feels like Geoff Mcfetridge and Brian Rea had a baby, right? Danny’s email’s on the above link if you’d like to get in touch.
