Occasionally one comes across a client who really makes the artist look outside the box. This wall-hung aron kodesh is a case in point. The extreme bend of the contours in the form required use of challenging woodworking techniques. Neither was the sculpted front with the door cut into it a task for the weak of heart. In designing this ark Kimchi strove to create a piece that would invite the viewer to an ongoing dialogue. As one continues to observe the carving more and more birds come out of the woodwork.
