'a woman prefers her husband to be a donkey driver, at home every shabbat to satisfy her sexually, even though he only earns 1 kab of wheat, rather than a distant camel driver who has sex once in 30 days, even though he earns 9 kabim' Ketubot 61a
women prefer regular sex to a higher standard of living... those, silly impractical women. (click on image to enlarge)
I have incorporated food associated with sex and fertility, including some from the traditional 7 species (I am a traditionalist at heart) - figs, pomegranates, grapes and of course wheat in the lacework, all of which is dripping with honey...

Mouthwateringly good.
Although I do think the misogyny here is more interesting and less black and white than previous pieces.
Your work is absolutely beautiful. Amazing, so powerful, I'm just so moved by all of it

Hi Jacqueline. Nathan Abrams gave me a link to your slideshow. It's really interesting stuff and I think your paper cuts are just stunning. It reminded me of work like Audrey Walker's "Life is Just Like a Bowl of Cherries" from the Subversive Stitch exhibition some years ago. All the best, Jenni Steele (Bangor Uni, PhD)
