"The fractures in these images reflect how disconnected a lot of Jewish people feel from each other right now, the metaphorical cracks between us, of Jews like myself who are rooted in texts and tradition and diaspora versus those who are motivated by territory."
"They're ominous, but also kind of geological and ancient. It feels like there are fractures."
Emily Drew Miller, an artist based in New York and New Jersey, incorporates matzah into her grid-based painting practice. Her ongoing series, Matzot, features dark collographs created by running sheets of matzah through a printing press. These prints highlight the textures and cracks of matzah, symbolizing the disconnection among Jewish people today. Miller describes her works as ominous yet ancient, representing the metaphorical fractures between different Jewish identities and traditions.
