A wonderful and unusual Art work made of Wood, Books and found objects, Signed lower right corner "De la Verriere 85. It is an art work. A sculpture that hangs on the wall.

When JJ was 9 years old, Hitler invaded Paris and that put an end to his mom’s dreams. Shortly thereafter the French jews were arrested, except those that were fortunate enough to go into hiding. JJ’s mom retreated to the countryside where her parents lived. She changed her identity and lived out her days in Paris. She died a few years ago and was laid to rest . Her tombstone was inscribed in Hebrew with her real name. JJ has a masters (MFA) from Prat and studied at Hunter for the past 25 years. He was a goldsmith for 50 years, a musician and a photographer.
