“Wings5”-2011
Glass cast &mixed media / 200cm X 80 cm X 40 cm
“Wings5 “consists of two glass cast wings, partly transparent. The wings rest gently on a long metal base, made of many identical square units, like drawers, there is a pattern of metal buttons, the orderly pattern and metal buttons gives it a military look, of some not very clear origin and usage. The transparent glass of the wings giving them a non-materialistic, unreal and fragile look, being in a complete contrast to the orderly military looking object they are resting on, in a sort of unexplained waiting, or hope. The work belongs to the “wings Series”. The simple and touching use of wings as a motif makes the work almost abstract in the vast range of contexts deriving from it, from the intimate and localized to the universal, cross-cultural and multi-layered.
Three elements are characteristic to this series. First, the size of the wings, what Maylor calls fondly “the wearable size” as if they’re made to fit humans. The second element is the force of life in the wings, whether they are left aside nailed or hanged like meat they are very much alive looking, ready to fly with change of circumstances. The third element being the fragility, weather transparent and more obvious or opaque looking.
The very idea of freedom is defined by its borders, like the white defined by the black.
The intimate aspect of freedom, the idea of personal freedom, its borders, partly a matter of personal choice and individual preferences, partly of cultural and social environment. The borders of freedom, partly protective, partly a burden, sometime intolerable, and a cause of struggle. That personal freedom being actual physical freedom, or freedom of thought and feelings
On a local Israeli level, the wings represent the end of an innocent era of ideology in an Israel that was established and built on the fulfillment of an idea and the present of post Zionism.
As a universal motif, they express the exalted, the angelic, the spiritual, which by its very essence is sacrificed, crucified with nails to a wooden log, or hanged like meat at the butcher’s. The wings also represent an expression of the primeval struggle between good and evil, spiritual and corporeal, and the never ending human strive for the sublime.
