The Art of Jewish Papercutting with Deborah Ugoretz
The Art of Jewish Papercutting with Deborah Ugoretz
Artist Deborah Ugoretz first discovered Jewish papercutting forty-seven years ago. Since then she has worked with textual sources like the Bible, rabbinical teachings, and poetry, converting them into visual language as a way to communicate their profound meaning. In this session, Deborah will present the iconography of papercutting and illustrate how “ordinary folks” created particularly Jewish papercuts. She will show antique papercuts from 18th-century Eastern Europe, Italian Ketubot, and samples of her own work.
