I am dedicated to a humanistic vision,
amplifying themes drawn from life, either
because I have experienced them personally,
or observed them in people I care about
because their existence has touched me deeply.
I begin each work of scultpure by first
visualizing the forms I believe are already
contained with a given log or block of stone,
only waiting for my energy to release it from
its cage. After the material is roughed-out by
carving with a hammer and chisels, I go on to
refine the shapes until they are finished with
fine rasps and files.
My work reflect human warmth, a wide range
of emotions, reflections and convictions, with
tenderness, strength and movement.

My name is Ruth Zafrir. I am an Israeli artist, born
1932, Tel-Aviv, living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Until the age of 50, I was an elementary school
teacher. At 50, I decided to change careers and study
art. At first, I went to the Philadelphia College of Art
and studied ceramics. But, I discovered that my real love
was sculpture and I decided to enroll in the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts where I learned to love making
sculpture by carving directly into marble without models
or studies.
I studied additionally at La Cappela, Pietrasanta,
Italy and at the Moravian Tiles Works, Doylestown,
Pennsylvania.
I am the winner of the following awards:
The Edmund Stewardson Prize - 1987
The Mary Townsed & William Clark Mason Memorial
Prize in Sculpture - 1986
The Stimson Prize in Sculpture - 1986
The Edward Stewardson Prize - 1984
In May 1989, I opened a new art gallery in the olde
city of Philadelphia at 13 S. 2nd street, dedicated to
sculpture, the only art space in Philadelphia devoted
exclusively to the exhibition and sale of sculptures.
Since coming from Israel to the United States to pursue
my art education, I have been impressed with the quality of
art being produced in Philadelphia. It compares favorable
with the art in the major art capitals of the world. It was
my hope that my gallery would, in small measure, help to
keep some of Philadelphia’s artists, sculptors in particular,
closer to home by giving them an opportunity to show
and sell. Aspiring artists from all over the world come to
Philadelphia to study. Philadelphia is the home of five
major fine art schools, yet the opportunity to show their
art to the public is limited.
In my April 1991 solo show, I displayed works in a
variety of mediums, but predominately Carrara Marble
and as the critics said, impressively touching works. The
sculptures depicted the love and compassion that I find in
the human experience. Especially of my country, the wars
there and the hoping for peace. At that time, they wrote
“one can feel the emotions and effective combination of
5
forms in Ruth Zafrir’s creative works, works which will
last and remain relevant for years to come.”
I am a direct carver in stone or wood. I examine the
stone or wood for cracks and checks, removing any
loose or crumbling surface material. Then I study its
possibilities, taking into consideration surface veining,
colors or streaks. I block out the main shapes using a
steel point. Later on, as the idea becomes clearer, I use a
chisel to remove stone or wood. Rasps are used to define
the shape. When the removal process has reached the
stage of recognizable forms, I use finer rasps and files
as less material is removed. When the forms, lines and
shapes have been composed to my satisfaction, I begin to
finish the surface with various grade of sanding papers.
Stone can be buffed by hand using powders, water and
waxes to achieve a satin finish or highly polished surface.
As a sculptor, I use sculpture as a self-expression of
my inner feelings and emotions. My subjects are scenes
from life, combining memories and life sketches.
My husband and I decided ten years ago to move to
Delanco, New Jersey, so that we could live along the
Delaware River. We bought an old house in extremely
run down condition, but on the river’s edge with beautiful
views of the river at all times of the day, and in all seasons.
We spent two years restoring the house and moved into
our new home in 1998.
The terrible tragedy of September 11, 2001, made a
very deep impression on me. It evoked again in my heart
the years of suffering that I felt for the innocent victims
of senseless terrorism in my homeland, Israel. I decided
to somehow create an artwork that would memorialize
the pain and grief that I felt for those who perished and
those who lost their loved ones. I thought it should be
life-size to better express emotions and I thought the
material should be marble for permanence.
I was able to obtain a 3,000 pound block of marble, six
feet high by three feet square from the marble quarries
of Vermont. I had the entire rectangular block shipped
by truck to my home and mounted by heavy crane on a
concrete base that I had built in my front yard.
That is where I began working on the statue four years
ago, carving out of the original block. And that is where
is stands today.
