My goal was to try to do a silkscreen monotype the way I usually work with oil paint. I didn’t necessarily expect the lines blocking my screen to show up but it ended up being pretty kickass. Does it make me a bad printmaker if some of my best prints are mistakes?
David Kracov was commissioned to create an award to be given in honor of, and named for, Rabbi Yossi Raichik, the beloved director of Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl.
The award, “Book Of Life”, was created by David and inspired by the extraordinary life of Rabbi Yossi Raichik. The sculpture depicts the “Book Of Life”, each page filled with words from those he touched, with those pages and thoughts transforming into butterflies, each representing the 2.547 children he helped save and give new lives.
“Only 55, but you lived 2,547 lives.” via
