The poet would have been in Israel at the time the edi- tion was formed." Boxes with black trims have 22 glass tiles, one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Avadenka turned prints that she made into the tiles. "The language was important because Rahel wrote poetry in Hebrew," Avadenka says. "There also are travel books I've collected that I thought related to her life." A two-sided folding screen forms another large piece, All My Paths Twist, from another line in a Rahel poem. "The dark side of the screen has black and gold letters with blue pho- tographic images," Avadenka explains. "The Hebrew letters were printed on my own press representing building blocks of the poet. The blue segments form a picture collage of pioneer women working in Israel. "The white side is meant to suggest a different kind of visual language. There are triangles pointing to the left to suggest the direction of the Hebrew language. The horizontal lines are meant to evoke notebook pages used by students to write Hebrew. "Along the bottom are collages of photographs I took when I was work- ing in Israel. They show the landscape I could see from the print shop." Harlene Appelman, executive direc- tor of the Covenant Foundation, is pleased with the results of the grant. "I have followed Lynne's work as I worked in Michigan," says Appelman, who has held administrative edu- cational positions at Congregation Shaarey Zedek, the Jewish Community Center and the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit. "We were looking for projects to teach people about Israel, and I think the finished work is striking. The inte- gration of artifacts is a brilliant way of highlighting the life of Rahel." Because of a long-standing relation- ship shared by the foundation and the university museum, Appelman thought the exhibit would be a good match and recommended it. As Avadenka was planning her proj- ect, she realized that she shared some similarities with Rahel. "When Rahel was 19, she left Russia for Israel, and my first trip to Israel was at 19," Avadenka says. "She worked on a kibbutz, and I worked on a kibbutz for a while." As part of the exhibition commit- ment, Avadenka is teaching a four- part series to fine art majors at Stern College for Women, part of Yeshiva University. The exhibit catalogue is another teaching tool. The Rahel presentations come at the time of another highlight for the artist — receiving the Career Achievement Award in the Field of Art and Art History from the Duffy Department of Art and Art History at Wayne State University, where she earned bachelor's and master's degrees. "This was a great honor," Avadenka says. "I've been part of the Detroit arts community for a long time and spent a lot of time at Wayne." Avadenka offers advice as artistic director at Signal-Return, a com- munity printing facility located at the Eastern Market in Detroit. "This is my third year as director, and I helped get Signal-Return its nonprofit status," she says. "I have worked to secure funding for the facil- ity as an art center. "We're a community letterpress print shop with a collection of wood and metal type. We hold workshops and partner with universities to let their graphic design students under- stand the history of printing. "We also partner with other arts and cultural organizations to produce free programming, have a monthly poetry reading and host book signings and book release parties." Signal-Return, funded by grants and corporate donations, is organizing a festival sponsored by a Knight Arts Challenge grant. "That festival will happen a year from now," Avadenka says. "We're in the planning mode to showcase exhibitions and offer workshops and demonstrations. We need to raise $35,000." * Now a Poem Begins II was recently pur- chased by the Library of Congress.
