Sarah
For a project called âUshpizot,â a Hebrew word meaning guests, Miriam made important conceptual as well as visual leaps. Traditionally men are the seven "guests" invited into the Sukkah on the holiday of Sukkot. Using seven household objects she painted images of things traditionally associated with matriarchs in the Bible: Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rachel, Miriam, Deborah, and Esther. She attached found objects like toys, dolls, slippers, birth control pills, and fabric to the objects.
