Women of the Book Exhibit,
First Station Gallery, Jerusalem,
Sukkot, 2015
Lisa recently returned from Israel, where she participated in the gala opening of The Women of the Book exhibit, part of the city-wide Jerusalem Biennale, an art event taking place every second year in different locations around the city center of Jerusalem, this year during the month of October, 2015. It is dedicated to exploring the places in which the contemporary art world and the Jewish world of content meet. It is a stage for professional artists, who create today and refer in their work to Jewish thought, spirit, tradition or experience.
The Women of the Book is a visual, midrashic (interpretive scroll based on the form and content of a traditional Torah scroll and created on 54 parchment panels (the number of Torah portions) by 54 Jewish women artists from around the world. The pieces will eventually be sewn together into a midrashic Torah Scroll, and funds are being generated to create an art book as well.
Lisa's midrashic parchment cut "Parashat Vayeshev" was on display, along with 49 other artist's interpretations. (4 are still in process). Lisa's piece is cut out of kosher, Torah-grade parchment and then a second piece of parchment was hand painted in watercolor and attached with kosher sinew behind the first piece. There is a video of Lisa at all stages of the creation.
