The Haggadah
"God took us out of Egypt with a strong hand,
and an outstretched arm, with awesome power, signs and wonders." Deuteronomy 26:8

"Retelling is a series of paintings I have been contemplating for the twenty-five years since my father died. I have used memories of being in the synagogue on the "Men's Side" sharing the prayer shawl with my father and the story of the Exodus that is retold each Passover to express my profound engagement with my father's legacy as a Jew." 

"In the retelling of the Passover story, the parents engage the children in a complex dialogue and ritual. I have tried to express this dynamic engagement between parents and children through the textures, colors, and forms that feel so real to me. This series is my own version of our family Hagadah, the book that tells the story at the Passover Seder. It is the expression of each part of my story which I retell through memories of my father."
