About the Artist Back to Gallery

This work is made of two actual ready-made gas cylinders, ordinary domestic objects found in almost every Israeli household. By embroidering directly onto their industrial metal surfaces, Zagursky brings together two opposing worlds: the hard, functional language of utility and the intimate, decorative, and traditionally hand-crafted gesture of embroidery.
