Winter/Spring 2007 Announcements
I am once again an Artist-in-Residence at the Makor/Steinhardt Center and we will be holding our anual Ten By Ten exhibition and accompanying auction, as part of MANiFest, the Makor Artists Network Festival, and curated in conjunction with ARTis, Israeli Art Week in New York City.
I will be presenting a new body of work entitled Episodic Memorial, exploring the psychology of children who eperience the trauma of war, and the accompanying displacement and loss of identity. Special emphasis is placed on the concept of the Home Town and how its violent dismantling may be imagined in the child's memory.
