Current Work I am working on a Jewish/Muslim Mosaic Project that institutes the Andalusian Model of tolerance and peace between Muslims and Jews. Our goal is to create a public art installation mosaic that breaks the stereotype that Jewish/Muslim relationships are inherently bound in conflict.
I am also completing a public installation mosaic of an ancient mariner's map of the Hudson River for the City of Peekskill to be installed in the Riverfront Green. |
