Arriving in Paris Haviva Jacobson wanders through the city. She observes life in the metropolis and discovers narrow alleys and hidden squares. Between visiting museums and galleries, she savors the “joie de vivre” on the streets and finds relaxation in Paris’ gardens. The shades of colors in Paris unfold before her eyes. There are many nuances of white, light brown and gray. They appear repeatedly and shape the cityscape of Paris. Haviva Jacobson therefore decides to create a work on the theme of nuances. She dyes delicate pieces of paper with various household remedies and collages them together into a large-format sheet of paper. This can serve as a finished work or as a base material. With the arrival of spring Paris reveals itself in all its splendor. The gardens and boulevards are ablaze with color. This inspires the artist to expand her methods. She produces natural dyes from leaves, grasses and flowers, dyes pieces of paper and creates a garden scene. The intensity and varied nuances of these natural dyes create a vibrant natural phenomenon.
