""'Israel Revisited', both as a series of works of art as well as an elaborate conceptual project, is an apotheosis of art as a product of the process of life. For in the works of art which comprise this museum offering, and particularly focusing on the 'Ten Sites Series', Beth Ames Swartz presents the formal and aesthetic evocation of her recent personal quest for 'relatedness' and 'rootedness' in the historical and metaphysical past of Israel. These works are the result of a two-year project in which an emerging new technique sought contextual meanings and referents deeply personal and atavistic." -- Nancy Berman, Hebrew Union College Skirball Museum, page 3."
"Swartz's unique artistic technique involves manipulating and altering paper with fire, paint, soil, and gilding. The book also includes maps and charts associated with her 1980 site visits in Israel involved in creating some of the works."
