Passage continues an interest in working with drapery imagery carved in stone. This preoccupation stems from an investigation of drapery as a skin, membrane or facade that is indicative of a transitional space. The visual ambiguity of the fold accompanied by the rich cross-cultural significance of cloth as a separation from inside and outside, warmth and cold, public and private, allows for this type of imagery to assimilate the context and meaning of its surroundings. Specifically, drapery is suggestive of a passage to something beyond. In this manner, it leads one into the official entrance of Congregation Darchei Noam.
