Artist's Statement

In my stained glass work, I focus on creating items such as hamsas and mezuzah cases, which demarcate Jewish space and which are associated with protection, safety, and comfort for the home and its inhabitants. In addition, I make various other stained glass items - abstract pieces, mirrors, mushrooms, pressed flower hearts, wedding glass keepsakes, and commisssions.

In my broader practice, I work primarily between performance and installation. I draw on traditional Jewish ritual, organic materials, and themes around body, anxiety, family history, and femininity. My work probes the tensions between safety and discomfort, paranoia and vigilance, and what it means to be complicit. In doing so, I investigate and refigures the way intergenerational trauma manifests in my body.
