Description of artwork:
Trees are integral to the Jewish tradition, from the Tree of Knowledge to the Tree of Life. Judaism celebrates a new year of the trees, which seems fitting, given that Jewish time, like a tree’s growth, is both circular and linear. This tree ring plays with these two forms of time to depict a particular selection of events in Jewish history
DendroJudaeology
Reclaimed poplar wood sculpture referencing dendrochronology (the science of tree-ring dating) and archeology in its title, this unorthodox timeline of the Jewish people is an artistic interpretation by two American Jewish artists based on extensive research and consultation with scholars.
