Efrat Kedem (b.1980) is an Israeli Artist and an Art Educator based in Palo Alto, CA. She holds an M.F.A. from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design and a B.Ed.F.A from the Midrasha School of Art at Beit Berel College.

My artistic practice centered around illuminating the traces of time inherent in everyday life, both in private and public spaces. Through the transformation and repurposing of objects and materials, I seek to highlight the interconnectedness between different environments. My work often assemble found materials and objects, drawing inspiration from the remnants of rooms, personal memories, and fleeting visual moments within my own surroundings.

Certain pieces originate from specific spaces, prompting contemplation not only of the space itself but also of the broader concept of site-specificity.

For me, working with found and specific objects and materials or with a given specific locations is a purposeful artistic statement rooted in the idea of the existing object as a starting point and not an end result.
