Between
In Israel’s Between series she explores the translucent space between images using Victorian glass magic lantern slides. From her collection of magic lantern slides Israel selects and combines multiple slides in order to create three-dimensional, almost holographic images, which she houses and illuminates in her Shadow Boxes.
