The work in this series-in-progress is part of my ongoing quest to develop a visual language that both participates in a living Jewish tradition and rejects the monolithic narratives about Jewish identity and values propagated by many contemporary institutions that claim authority over that tradition.

For more eloquent writing on this topic than I am able to provide at the moment, I recommend Arielle Angel’s “We Need New Jewish Institutions” and Maia Ipp’s “Kaddish for an Unborn Avant-Garde.”
