Summary:
|
Portfolio of prints made by Lynne Avadenka at RIT in Summer 2021. The prints were made using the vintage metal and wood type from the Cary Graphic Arts Collection.
Each print shows in red the Hebrew or Yiddish name of a Jewish women printer who worked in East Europe and Constantinople around the 15–19th centuries. The first name is set in bigger letters than the family name below it. The circular red text at the left is a part of the Hebrew Proverbs 31:13 "She works willingly with her hands", ותעש בחפץ כפיה. The single blue letter at the bottom right of each print composes this Hebrew sentence when all the prints are set one next to the other from right to left, the Hebrew language reading direction.
