The Matriarch is a captivating assemblage of artistic expressions honoring the artist’s grandmother. It features found objects collected in her studio that have been artfully arranged to evoke memories of an empowering woman who stamped through Tel Aviv pushing a grocery cart home. Among its many components, there exists one treasured trinket gifted from Israel by the artist’s aunt – an old rice bag unearthed at a local market as a tribute to this formidable matriarch, whose memory will remain immortalized within this artwork.
