Counting Omer / Moss, David., 2014

 Item
Identifier: CC-59773-10002832
Scope and Contents

Moss writes,"The Mizvah of the Counting of the Omer is rather unique. It requires the mindful, unified counting of forty-nine days from the second day of Passover until Shavuot...For this piece, I wanted to create an Omer Calendar that would contain the entire set, would capture all the information needed for the three-part counting plus the Kabbalistic attributes for every day. As my artistic challenge, I sought to do this without using any Hebrew or Roman letters, or any numerals...thus you may proceed, day by day from one to forty-nine, ...This period helps make us aware of th passing of time, of the possibility of gradual but steady development and growth and can truly make us realize how much each day 'counts'." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Country Life. No.29/July / Finlay IH., 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-28389-29596
Scope and Contents

The cover depicts a stone sculpture in the garden of Ian Hamilton Finlay. It illustrates a statement of Saint Just, which is carved on nine rocks, "Paths to enlightenment in a garden of ideas." An essay within this magazine by Alan Powers entitled "The Sparta of the North," describes the poet's garden in Lanarkshire as one of the significant creations of our time. He states that Finlay recreated a poetic, classical garden as a place of beauty, and a journey of the mind; complex schemes of iconography provide entertainment and painted a moral. The essay is illustrated with nine colored photographs. The Sackners visited the garden with their daughter Sara in 1980. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
