"Out of the depths,
I call to thee ..."

"Out  of  the  depths,  I  call  to  thee ..."  is  an  art  installation  that  occupies  a  20' x 20'  gallery  space.  It  is  comprised  of  8  images  that  are  linked  by  sand  paths  outlined  in  grey  gravel.  Each  image  has  sculpture  with  emanating  sound  (spoken  Holocaust  and  WW II  memories,  singing,  or orchestral  music)  with  documentary  and  p ersonal  photographs  and  texts  on  the  wall.  It  took  10  years  of  part  time  work  by  the artist  (me)  and  countless  volunteer  hours  by  Holocaust  educators,  first  and  second  generation  individuals,  members  of  the  Calgary  Jewish  community,  Walter Oleszkowicz (RIP),  Calgary  artists  notably  John Will ,  and  Sundae  Sound.
