Miriam Di Fiore

 Her Extraordinary Art and Her Stories

Sami Harawi

Glass Art has rarely reached this level of sophistication and appeal.
The appeal is beyond the technical challenge. It is the resultant object that is mesmerizing.
People get easily attracted to Miriam’s signature landscapes.
However, when they realize that these are NOT paintings the attraction becomes a love affair.

The final decision to acquire a Miriam usually comes when they learn of the
many stories associated with each object.
There is a story about the photographed site,
the challenge in translating it to glass,
and the meaning of the object encasing the glass.
Up till few years ago, each Object had a Poem. Time constraint has stifled the Poet

These objects are divided into different categories.
Drawers are the most frequently used objects.
It is not a mere drawer supporting the glass panel; it is a Dream in a Drawer.
A drawer is the place where Miriam has saved her precious memories and hidden her nightmares.
Another frequently used object is the Saw (her Nightmare Instruments).
 It is not only symbolic of tree killing, it is an overall symbol of violence.  

Miriam is as multifaceted person as her creations are. She seamlessly moves between photographing a memorable site, crystallizing this memory in glass, incorporating the glass in
the appropriate niche, and… often, writing a poem or a short story about the whole experience.
The result is one Art expression layered over another, and another,  and another...
