The simple use of wings as a motif makes
the work almost abstract in the vast range of contexts deriving from it, from
the intimate and localized to the universal, cross-cultural and multi-layered.

Three elements are characteristic to the
series. First, Maylor fondly calls the wings the “wearable size”, as if they’re
made to fit existing individuals. Second, the wings embody a life force,
whether left aside, nailed or hanged like meat, remaining very much alive,
ready to fly with a small change of circumstance. Thirdly, the wings are
fragile, transparent and opaque.

As a universal motif, the Wings express the exalted, the angelic,
the spiritual, which by its very essence is sacrificed, crucified with nails to
a wooden log, hanged like meat at the butchers. They also represent an
expression of the primeval struggle between good and evil, spiritual and
corporeal, and the never ending human striving for the sublime.

The “Wing” is a sole white glass wing, hanging
on a rusty hook, by another “empty hook”. This work expresses longing, longing
to the missing half, longing to “freedom of ying” inherent to the wing.
The
work belongs to the “wings Series”. The simple and touching use of wings as a
motif makes the work almost abstract in the vast range of contexts deriving
from it, from the intimate and localized to the universal, cross-cultural and
multi-layered. Three elements are characteristic to this series. Maylor fondly
calls the wings “the wearable size” as if they’re made to t people. The second
element is the force of life in the wings, whether they are left aside nailed
or hanged like meat they are very much alive looking, ready to y with change of
circumstances. The third element being the fragility, weather transparent and
more obvious or opaque looking.

The very idea of freedom is dened by its
borders, like the white de ned by the black.
The intimate aspect of freedom,
personal freedom, and its borders are partly a matter of personal choice and
individual preferences based on cultural and social environment. The borders of
freedom, partly protective, partly a burden, at times intolerable, are a cause
of struggle. That personal freedom being actual physical freedom, or freedom of
thought and feelings

On a local Israeli level, the wings represent
the end of an innocent era of ideology in an Israel that was established and
built on the filament of an idea and the present of post Zionism.

As a universal motif, they express the exalted,
the angelic, the spiritual, which by its very essence is sacrificed, crucified with
nails to a wooden log, or hanged like meat at the butcher’s. The wings also
represent an expression of the primeval struggle between good and evil, spiritual
and corporeal, and the never-ending human strive for the sublime.
