Chana Cromer: The Story of Joseph: Unveiling the Text

November 19, 2006 - March 25, 2007
Selz Foundation Gallery

A graduate of the Bezalel Art Institute in Jerusalem, and a Torah student for many years, Jerusalem fiber artist and teacher Chana Cromer has created a series of fabric wall hangings that reflect the text and commentary in the story of Joseph. Drawing our attention to the centrality of cloth in the Biblical narrative, Cromer's multilayered artworks shed light on the complex layers of Joseph's personality and the interfacing symbolism in his "coat of many colors."
