New Home: Tallis and Fence #7

I am especially proud to say that I have sold another painting in my Tallis and Fence series. This series is one of two that I've created to-date that has a Jewish theme. Given what's going on in our country right now, I'm happy to have this piece out in the world where it will be enjoyed by others.

Tallis and Fence #7 is going to it's new home in New York, thanks to ArtfulHome.com and the same collector who previously purchased Tallis and Fence #3 and Tallis and Fence #9. 

The Tallis and Fence series is created with acrylic "skins" created from photos of my grandfather's tallis that are collaged on monoprinted textures of construction fences on stitched and painted fabric that is mounted on 8" x 6" x 1" cradled board. 

I created this series when I was the Artist-in-Residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University, Waltham, MA for a month in 2014. I worked on site for four weeks at the Kniznick Gallery, where I created a series of Jewish wedding canopies, or chuppot, to be displayed in the gallery during the exhibition. I created the Tallis and Fence series at the same time, because the tallis is commonly used as a chauppah at weddings.

Thank you again to the collector!

Tallis and Fence #9 has a new home in New York, thanks to ArtfulHome.com and the same collector who purchased Tallis and Fence #3 a number of weeks ago.

Artful Home - New Work

I added some new work to my Artful Home page, three of the 14 piece Tallis and Fence series, and three from the Fences and Nests series. I think it would be nice for my paintings to find new homes, instead of hanging around my house. 

The Tallis and Fence series is created with acrylic "skins" created from photos of my grandfather's tallis, collaged on monoprinted textures of construction fences on fabric that is stitched, and painted, and mounted on 8" x 6" x 1" cradled board. I noticed that Artful Home has a Judaica section, but there were no paintings, so now there are a few of mine.

The Fences and Nests series combines the monoprinted textures of orange construction fences with the nest-like circles of thread scraps, on 16" x 12" x 1.5" cradled board. I really like this series, and I'm grateful that a number of them have been sold over the past few years. Perhaps a few more will find new homes too.

If you're interested in seeing this work and more on Artful Home, take a look!

On Exhibit: Under Color!

After completing a month long Artist-in-Residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University, where I made 10 construction fence-patterned chuppahs (Jewish wedding canopies), I am very proud to say that...

... my solo show, Under Color, is now on exhibit at the Kniznick Gallery in the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis, through May 22, 2014. The Opening reception is Wednesday, April 23rd from 5 - 7 pm. Please join us if you can.

Included in the show are Fence Patterned Chuppah Series #1 - #10. This series is created with monoprinted, handstamped, handpainted, and stiffened fabric. The simple printmaking techniques bring pattern and color to the traditional chuppah.

In addition to the chuppahs, there are also a series of small paintings I created, the Tallis and Fence Series. These paintings are created with acrylic "skins" from photos of my grandfather's tallis (prayer shawl), that are collaged on monoprinted textures of construction fences on fabric that is stitched, painted, and mounted on 8" x 6" cradled board.

In addition to the Opening reception on Wednesday, April 23rd from 5 - 7 pm, you are also invited to the following events:

Artist’s Workshop: Wednesday, April 30, 12 - 2 pm: I will lead a workshop in printing on fabric.  Drop in at any time during the session to engage in a hands-on experience.  

Gallery Talk: Wednesday, May 7, 2-3 pm

Additional programming: coming soon

The Kniznick Gallery in the Women’s Studies Research Center is in the Epstein Building, at  515 South Street in Waltham, MA (across from Brandeis/Roberts commuter rail station).

The gallery is open Monday - Friday from 9 - 5 pm. or by appointment. Special weekend hours are Saturday, April 26, 11-3 pm, and Saturday, May 3, 11-3 pm.

All events will be held at the WSRC and are free and open to the public.

New Work: The Tallis and Fence Series

This 14-piece Tallis and Fence Series is created from photos of my grandfather's tallis (prayer shawl). They are collaged on monoprinted textures of construction fences on fabric that is stitched, painted, and mounted on 8" x 6" x 1" cradled board.

Because there are 14 of them, I've doubled the pictures up for viewing purposes in this post. The can be seen individually on the Tallis and Fence page of my website.

I created them while I've been an Artist-in-Residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University. 

While I have been working on site for the sat three weeks at the Kniznick Gallery, creating a series of Jewish wedding canopies, or chuppot, I've been working on the Tallis and Fence Series at home.

Under Color, my solo show at the Kniznick Gallery, in the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis, will be on exhibit from April 14 - May 22, 2014. The Opening Reception is Wednesday, April 23 from 5 - 7 pm. Please join us if you're nearby.
