Tikkun Olam

42" x 54" x 6". Newspaper from Japan and Israel. 2017.
Commissioned by ​JP & Janet Newman

​Tikkun Olam, commissioned by The Newman Family, is layered with meaning. Newspaper from Japan and Israel, revealing text in Kanji and Hebrew. Only four rolls have text in English, Inspiration, Justice, Peace and Decency. These words were chosen by each family member and then they wrote prayers that I rolled into their chosen word. I love making work that has so much meaning to its owners.
