Women of the Book Midrashic Torah Project
Lisa recently completed a midrashic parchment cut interpretation of the Torah parasha Vayeshev, for the Women's Torah Project. Women artists from all over the world are participating. Each artist is creating a visual midrash on pieces of kosher parchment, and each will interpret a different parasha. Each section will then be sewn together like a Torah scroll, and exhibited with explanations of the work. Lisa's piece is cut out of kosher Torah-grade parchment and then hand painted in watercolor on a second piece of parchment, which was then attached with kosher sinew behind the first piece. There is a video of Lisa at all stages of the creation. This is in conjunction with the Women's Torah Project that just completed a Sefer Torah all written by female scribes.
