So, when looking at me as an artist, one must start looking at that path.As a Jew, I was raised and educated within a culture of subversion. It is only natural that I seek it out in my research, art and life. In researching Jewish art there are many examples of dominant cultural symbols being used by Jews and subverted for their own purpose. In exploring the past I have found great inspiration in combining history and the consumer global culture of my own time in my art.When creating art, I see myself as an imagery, concept and visual DJ, mixing and sampling to create fresh grooves, like a post modern match maker. My aesthetics are closely tied to pop and kitsch culture. I approach my work like a painter of Polish Synagogues, whose intricate style has been referred to as Amor Infiniti (love of Infinite). When looking at Jewish folk art, I see that it contains many of the things I already value aesthetically, such as the use of patterns, symmetry and lush textures. The immediacy of glass, as well as its long connected history with the Jews, makes it a perfect material to rapidly make meaningful and enticing sculptural elements.My thesis show was an opportunity to explore some of the ideas bouncing around in my head, setting these bits and parts to simmer, creating a delicious soup of a show. 2004 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1420638338 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1420638338 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
