Israel’s semi-circular works, which appear to be separate objects assembled together, are actually realized from one solid piece of laminated MDF. Continuing a thread started from the artist's series, Another Sunset, in which Israel’s sculptures evoked forms that slip above and behind the horizon, these new works suggest lunar cycles and draw inspiration from astronomical events.

While they appear to be industrially fabricated, each sculpture is the result of a painstaking process of hand-cutting, gluing, laminating, and woodworking of baltic birch plywood and medium density fiberboard or MDF. The final works play a game of visual deception as the handmade simulates the industrially fabricated and forms oscillate between pure abstraction and veiled forms of representation.
