Psalm 24: An Echoing Interpretation / Moss, David., 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-52676-73812
Scope and Contents

The images for the picture poems are abstract and the captions are in Hebrew. David Moss writes, "I believe that one of the most fundamental concepts of Judaism is balance - balance between the physical and the spiritual, between time and space, between strictness and leniency, between justice and compassion, between heritage and destiny...This little book is an attempt to give this notion of biblical parallelism a visual interpretation." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Psalm One Hundred Nineteen / Moss, David., 2014

 Item
Identifier: CC-59772-10002831
Scope and Contents

Moss writes,"Psalm 119 is a long, brilliant ode, praise, and paean to Torah itself...This work of art was my attempt to create a version of psalm 119 that highlights its intimate connection with the Hebrew alphabet, reflects its length and structure and relates to its prime theme of Torah.. ..I drew out an alphabet and wrote as much of the text as I could for each letter in micrography, outlining the letter itself...I continued the text by filling in the borders around the letters and around the whole text." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
