Biography

Efrat Natan was born and grew up on Kibbutz Kfar Ruppin in the Beit She'an Valley.[1] She studied with Raffi Lavie. Her art was influenced by life on the kibbutz and utopian ideals.[2] [3] Her sculpture "Swing of the Scythe" (2002) is in the permanent exhibition of the Israel Museum. Composed of scythes arranged in a circle, the work draws on Natan's childhood memories growing up on a kibbutz as well as the myth of the Zionist pioneer, symbolizing the renewed relationship between the Jews and the land.[4]

gollark: I fear that the headers could be randomly and incomprehensibly removed from existence elsewhere.
gollark: This had BETTER not be one of those ASYNCHRONOUS things.
gollark: This is increasingly ridiculous, where could it *possibly* be clearing the headers between where I stuck a debugging `echo` in and another debugging `echo` in the `except` block‽
gollark: I traced it through more using `echo`s, and it seems like a route error is happening somehow, and that somehow² appears to be clearing the response headers?
gollark: Well, this is very weird, I don't see how they could not be initialized.
