Dalia Meiri's sculptures can be found all over the Galilee and other sites of Israel. They seem to be an integral part of the landscapes, their image becomes a perception the of place itself. Rocks, iron, wood, fiberglass, polyester sheets, cloth, and other materials form and transform in her hands to a new entity, revealing a new identity. “Art history for me is the remains of archeology, the ruins of buildings, fortresses, stones which have been worked by man, ancient agricultural devices, such as olive and wine presses and mill stones”…
The old cut stones are reused and carved, used for new sculptures, the materials transform but still carry the traces of the ancient, preserving the original characteristics. Dalia uses a variety of materials for her artworks, each subject requires the right material. She searches and researches new materials and returns to the old ones, bringing a new concept, finding a fresh look or a new angle. An Israeli artist, a woman sculptor, her roots go deep in the earth of her birthplace, she creates at present as a link to the past, as a part of the ever lasting chain of time. Her subjects and ideas revealed through her works deal with the basics of human nature, with the body and bodily decay, man and woman, loss, grief, earth, stone. She builds memorial sites, landscape art and outdoor sculptures, indoor installations, mixed media and more. Each artwork is a journey from inside out, from outside inwards and back, as in nature, in cycles of creation.
