I use a special plastic glue, but the material is very dynamic and it can be rougher or smoother depending on how you mix it.

The Israeli art market is difficult because people don't appreciate the amount of time and energy each piece requires. They see a piece and think it's made out of newspaper so they evaluate its worth based only on the material. They don't realize that I make every piece of it and that it takes many hours.

It can take up to three days for one piece to dry, depending on how thick it needs to be.

I tread on the m che' with my feet and I sometimes use my teeth, and of course my hands are always working. I am also using my mind when I work. I sometimes have to talk with the material so I can figure out the character of what I'm making.

They can't get any rougher on us unless they show up with Uzis.

I'm where I want to be. I would have liked to have had things go a little smoother with the weather cooperating.
