Wrapping of Time

The Jewish Museum presents five works by textile artist Alma Winkler. The sculptures consist of everyday objects linked to the artist’s memories. The objects have been wrapped in hand-dyed strips of fabric using the shibori technique. By layering them, almost like mummification, the artist holds on to memories tied to each object and explores the fragile nature of memory. The works reflect the role of collective memory in Jewish tradition and history.
