Untitled Babushkas

Wandering Jew

Beneath that,
the paving stones

NO HARD FEELINGS

“Knobl III”: knobl—soup!

To Me You’re Beautiful

We Will Outlive Them

He Had His Lunch and
I Had Mine

cry, without words

It begins in a fall

No one belongs here
more than anxious
I N V U
The Art Yard

Is it better yet?

Selected solo exhibitions

Lights and Perfections

The Eternal

you’d be home by now

“Knobl II”: Knobl Hearts

“Knobl One”: Shum Klum

When a poor man eats a
chicken, one of them is sick
(but we sing, we still sing)

Rather owe you
than not pay you



Untitled Babushkas


“Untitled Babushkas” is an ongoing series of woven and embroidered babushkas that reimagines the dress code of the Jewish priests of ancient Israel for grannies in the former Soviet Republics.

The imagery of Untitled Babushka 1 is based on the pomegranate and its flowers. Untitled Babushka 2 is woven predominantly using the “Danish medallion” tapestry weave, and is additionally inspired by an amuletic Turkish shawl from the early 20th century.
