Artist Statement on Burning Bush I
Burning Bush I is part of a series of “Torah Art” created based on verses in the Torah. “I love Torah study, and I’ve long had a fascination with calligraphy, especially Chinese characters, its strokes and meanings. Many of the Chinese characters derive from pictographs; to me they are such amazing images. Maybe because Passover was coming up, I thought about Moses and the burning bush, and thought it would be interesting to put the actual Chinese character for “fire” or “flame” (ç?«) on some branches, and I used the colors of the flame instead of black ink. When I create art, the many pieces of me – the Jew, the Chinese, the lesbian – come together and become one.”
Davi Yael-Cheng was born in Hong Kong and now lives in LA with her spouse of 36 year Bracha Yael-Cheng. She has served as the President of Beth Chayim Chadashim (BCC), "House of New Life" - the world's original gay and lesbian synagogue. An artist, musician and singer, she designed and co-created BCC’s 12 stained-glass windows, ner tamid (eternal light) and ark doors.
