Yeshiva University Museum

Inspired by ancient architecture and archaeological sites in the land of Israel, Tova Beck-Friedman sculpts the raw desert formations of her birthplace and incorporates the human figure into her work. Their towering dimensions impart strength and force but despite their size, they are lightweight - made of recycled pulped paper. Beck-Friedman was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, now lives in New York and has created many site-specific installations around the world.
