Leah Golberstein
Leah Golberstein is a paper, fiber, and installation artist residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was a faculty member at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design for 10 years and was a founder of the Form + Content Gallery.[1]
Work by Golberstein is in the collection of the Walker Art Center,[2] and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.[3]
Golberstein identifies as Jewish, has studied Talmud and Jewish history, and much of her work draws upon her Jewish roots.[4] She has been a participant in group exhibits on both Jewish and interfaith themes (Interpretations of Faith, Basilica of St. Mary, 2009;[5] Uncommon Visions: Jewish Textile Artists, Tychman Shapiro Galler, 2011; Jewish Artists' Laboratory Project, Sabes Jewish Community Center, 2013–2014), as well as having developed her own exhibits on themes of faith and interaction of faiths (Uprooted Lights, Form + Content Gallery, 2007).[6]
In an installation she calls "Uprooted Lights," elements of traditional Judaism are used in the form of a tallit or prayer shawl and tzitzits, or little twiglike bundles used in rituals. Golberstein cherishes the time consuming process by which she hand-makes paper from flax, experiencing it by thinking of it as meditative labor.[6][7]
