About

Dana combines passion with technology, art and design, creating unique pieces. She draws inspiration from nature, artifacts, soft curved lines, as well as biomorphic shapes. Her works are characterized by airy sculptured objects that derives their origin from an interest in space perception and three dimensions.

earth core

On the 7th of October, we received a punch in the stomach and since a deep ache persists.

Though our flag tarnished, we feel the need to rap ourselves with it, so it will bring back security, protection and solace.

Hope remains for the return of the abductees.

Longing for the day when we can breathe freely once more (abdominal breathing).

Measurement

Like a snake shedding its skin to allow its body to grow - a painful and dangerous process that is necessary for development - Dana Bloom's human "descendant" testifies to the transformative essence of the circle of life, and symbolizes the power of life to overcome death.

hidden

land

An expansive area, sprawling beneath us, looks like a model of a forest or a city made of a plethora towers. The HUNDREDS of pointy objects composing the work are made from pieces of the Haaretz newspaper. The pages were cut from the edge of the newspaper, and were then rolled into spiral structures, diverse in their size, length and movement.

Material Immaterial 1st Paper Biennale, MUSA

Tissue paper is transformed through a process of kneading and design into precious jewelry. The intimate use of tissue paper arouses primal associations and feelings which are transferred trough the choice of shapes and the use of materials. A long process of cutting, unraveling, rolling, crushing and gluing the paper results in the emergence of biological forms, hinting at secrets concealed within them. A contrast is achieved between the inexpensive and perishable material and the prestigious and long-lasting matter.

The idea for this collection drives from observing Mother Nature, from its micro and macroscopic processes. Wilted leaves and the capillary action of plants are the model for the airy foundation of the collection.

This piece is part of a collection from the final project about boundaries.

The different parts are computer designed and the models are printed in stereo-lithography. The chain travels inside railways and yet it cannot escape them. It becomes a part of the whole piece.

Pendants

This piece was created in a "Clock" course and is designed in such a way that the numbers move and not the dials. The dials are static and are imprinted on the glass, while the numbers are attached to the device and actually move. The piece uses a sand-glass model specially in order to deal with the concept of time. Since the piece attempts to flight known conventions by reversing the roles of the dials and the numbers, it also attempts to fight conventions by having no sand in a sand-glass clock.

This piece is one of the final project collections in the subject of boundaries. The project is about re-defining boundaries, attempting to imprison a space within a piece of jewelry, while keeping its spaciousness. The inspiration was a microscopic photograph of a plant's cells.

Brooch

The piece was inspired by distances and the differences between long and short ranges. It is made with the use of ready- made iron found on the street. The brooch is attached to both sides of the clothing article, similar to the way the frame is attached to the needlepoint.
