Orly is a fine artist whose evocative ink drawings provoke feelings of unease and fascination. The Dream House room she has created centres on a small sleeping figure, surrounded by haunting images of animals and humans.

Developing her idea for the room, Orly played with the idea of dreams opening up different spaces, physically and psychologically. Thinking about Jung’s use of visual symbols, she sketched ideas for rooms that frayed and dissolved, opening into dream spaces. The idea of a cave with drawings of animals flickering around the walls also fed into the final form.

Orly often works with groups, making storytelling artworks in different forms – printmaking, performance, installation. See her many projects and more beautiful drawings.
