Suddenly I realized that these wooden Jews were really not different from Cigar Store Indians, and I wondered how Native-Americans tolerate the Indian Kitsch that is so prevalent in the United States. This revelation led to a series I titled The Nostalgia Factory , addressing the issues of racism and ethnic stereotyping in the U.S., as well as anti-Semitism and stereotyping of Jews by Nazis and others. These works use a large variety of media, including prints, painting, photography, and assemblage. I incorporated stereotyped images, racist or kitsch objects that I found in antique stores, wooden Jewish figures from Poland, photographs of Auschwitz, and images of contemporary artists and poets of various ethnic backgrounds. In addition to combining many different media, these pieces combine conflicting emotions, such as irony, sadness, and anger.
Most works are for sale directly from the artists.
