Banner – “Ushpizot” (Matriarchs)

Description

“Ushpizot” (2002) by Galia Goodman of Durham, NC honors 7 matriarchs whose spirits we invite to visit us in the sukkah:  Sarah, Deborah, Rebecca, Miriam, Leah, Rachel & Esther. The original work is a traditional papercut with ink overlay.

Galia Goodman has been a working artist and calligrapher for over 25 years.  Self-taught, her work now hangs in homes, synagogues, churches, and universities around the world.  She specializes in Judaica, notably Ketubot, and her style is eclectic, ranging from traditional papercut to brilliantly-colored abstract collage.  Galia tells us “My favorite collaborations are the banners I have created for the Sukkah Project™”.
