My work always begins with text. I am influenced by elements of the natural world that are touched by the Divine: the burning bush, the parting of the Red Sea, the orbits of the planets, the revelation at Sinai. I incorporate pieces of cutup comic books and cast-off prayerbooks that had been destined for ritual burial in the genizah, drawing upon the mythologies of comics and the words of our ancestors to reveal patterns and parallels with my ideas, the stories of our tradition, and the sacred words of our liturgy.
