"In preparing for this
exhibit I began to research the visual and mystical use of Hebrew letters in
sacred texts; this early research gave me only an inkling of the magnitude of
this subject. Having been introduced to a new medium by Paul/Small's collaborative
works, I realize that when we apply computer technology and imagery to this
body of information, we are adding our drop of knowledge, gleaned in our time
with our tools, to our ancient tradition, a practice which has a venerable place
in Jewish history."
