Self-sacrifice on a silver platter

Artist Noam Edry presents her view of Israeli reality in her provocative exhibition in Ein Harod.

Noam Edry is not a woman to be messed with. Judging by her artistic output to date and the unequivocal messages she tries to convey, she knows her own mind and how she wants to go about sharing it with the rest of the world. The 29- year-old artist was selected to present the inaugural exhibition of the new auditorium of the Ein Harod Arts Center, her provocative “Silver Platter,” which opens this evening.
The Israel- and London-trained artist has been putting across her straightshooting works for a few years now, and Silver Platter is a portrayal of Edry’s take on various, mostly unsavory, aspects of feminist and social issues, with some political stuff thrown in. Basically, Edry paints and sculpts ‘em as she sees ’em. That approach, naturally, often places Edry in the firing line but, as she says, needs as must. “I work with my gut feeling, always,” she declares. “I have no choice. I am an artist, and I have to go with what I believe in.”
