Since the late 1980's, Ms. Starobin has been photographing
Biblical landscapes in Israel. More recently, she has moved her focus
from straight photography to digital works on paper, creating multi-layered
photomontages of the region from her conventional negatives. The work
poetically reflects upon the turbulent Israeli landscape, weaving together
the complex multi-national and personal sources that inform her artistic
and cultural identity. Significantly, her compositions are inspired
by places steeped in family memory, enriched by artistic and literary
tradition, and central to world history and current events.
