Artist Statement for "Love Poem - Cream" Ketubah
Artist: Nishima Kaplan
Original media: Watercolor on paper
Long ago, in medeval Italy, to avoid prying eyes and jealous rivals, smitten Lovers wrote love poems in secret languages. Only their Beloveds held the key to the code, only their Beloveds could unlock the words of love. Calling to mind this secret language of love, the heiroglyphic "love poem" of Nishima Kaplan's playful design is as passionate as your love, as eternal as a Shakespearean sonnet.
