The "Ruth" Papercut - Work 16

The work is created from a unique Israeli paper hand made from straw - hence the chosen text.  The name “Ruth” sits at the center of the multilayered rosette.

Ruth 2:9-10 "And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth, thy handmaid; spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid for thou art a near kinsman. And he said, Blessed art thou of the Lord my daughter for thou hast shown more loyalty in the end than in the beginning..."
