4 x sheets, each 59.4 x 84.1 cm

The number four has a mystical quality and is at the heart of the idea of Passover, the four questions, fours sons, four cups etc. I decided to make images composed of four sheets. The idea of the Four Sons seemed to me particularly timely. During this period we have all got to know one another better. But each person is entirely unique, usually unchangeable, and even if they come from the same parents, as distinct as different cultures, with different abilities, moods, strengths and weaknesses. What a magnificent theme for art and literature. My fictional Four Sons are very contemporary. One of them is a studious type, another injecting himself with drugs.
