Drawing On Tradition: The Book of Esther

Original drawings for Megillat Esther by JT Waldman

JT Waldman spent seven years wrestling with the Book of Esther—first teasing out its layers of meaning, and then realizing his aesthetic vision of the book as a graphic novel. The result is a vibrant and beautiful work of art with many lessons for our time. This installation offers original art for close examination, enlargements for visual impact, and audience interactivity that allows visitors to write comments directly on the enlarged artwork.

Content: All artwork must be wall hung. Includes 34 framed original pen and ink drawings; 4 framed digital enlargements; 3 laminated enlargements; 9 interpretive panels and all ID labels; 6-minute video of artist; interpretive brochure.

Booking availability: beginning Spring 2010

Space requirements: 150 linear feet
