tsukunst צוקונסט

Tsukunst is a combination of two Yiddish words: tsukunft (future) and kunst (art). This represents the belief that art is a vessel for future-making, in how it can drive us in our present by making different possible futures vivid and palpable. Or as the double meaning of the yiddish phrase “es ken gemolt zayn” tells us: it is paintable / it is possible.

My practice as a printmaker and book artist is guided by building out a vibrant, forward-looking Jewish diaspora that challenges notions of belonging through nationalism and shared trauma in favor of shared engagement with ever-evolving practices of language, ritual, performance, and collectivist political participation.
