The cover photo for the April 2006 issue of Interreligious Insight was taken by Cetta Kenney at Jerusalem’s Citadel, the Tower of David. The occasion was the exhibition in 2000 of glass sculpture by the extraordinary Dale Chihuly. Entitled “Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem 2000”, the installation took splendid advantage of the spectacular courtyard setting at the Tower.
From the time of his experience at Kibbutz Lehav in 1962-63 to the long work on the installation, Chihuly’s relationship with Israel and Jerusalem was developing. In the end, the artist wanted to enhance the experience of visitors to a holy place.
Many people have asked me what was I thinking and why — how did I go about creating the pieces — do they have a meaning? I guess the answer is that I think from my gut more than my head. I walked around the Citadel many times, trying to get a feeling for the architecture — understanding the space or the “room” that developed over the centuries. The colour of the stone, the ground, the sky. What felt right for the space? How many pieces? What colour and what form? I knew that Jews, Moslems, Christians and tourists from around the world would visit — as many as a million people would now see the Citadel in an altered way.
Our cover photo, by Cetta Kenney, captures just a bit of what Chihuly accomplished at the Citadel.
