Bobbi Premack Gorban. 2022. Matza.

Artist Statement: This Matza cover is created to acknowledge some women of the Bible or holidays. It is stitched on special fabric that is perfect for the design. It is embellished with beads. Included are pomegranates which are mentioned many times in Judaic writings and one of my favorite symbols to incorporate in my needlework pieces.
