Eat Food IV

This is my fourth papercut inspired by the first line of Michael Pollan’s article “Unhappy Meals.”

 

Lo Alecha II

July 20, 2010 | Filed in: | No Comments »


This is my second piece with the phrase starting “Lo Alecha”. This text loosely translates as “It is not for you to complete the work [of repairing the world]. Not up to you to finish it. But neither are you free to desist from it.” This phrase comes from Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers), which is part of the Mishna, the Jewish oral law.

 

Papercuts Art Show

July 1, 2010 | Filed in: | No Comments »


My papercuts are on display! They are at my local JCC, which features a different artist on the gallery walk 5 or 6 times a year. My papercuts will be up through the end of August. There is also an article about me and my work in the JCC’s newsletter, a writeup/artist statement on the wall of the gallery, and large printouts in a portfolio where you can see detailed representations of some of my sold work.

Also, I’ll be teaching a class on creating Jewish papercuts. It’s a two-part class, meeting on July 11 and July 18 from 10:30am-1pm. All materials will be provided. Contact the JCC to sign up or email me if you have questions.
