2017
About the Item
Iviva Olenick's new works is a tribute to her family stories. She interviews family members, look at old photographies but forgoes the photograph completely, embroidering, instead, a tangible remembrance of her ancestors. To create her images, she cuts and pastes old photographs to include female, Jewish ancestors from different decades and families, honoring a shared history of having worked with textiles and sewing. By splicing together unrelated photographs, Olenick threads a personal narrative that feels unknowable as part of a larger European Jewish history laced with flight and migration. She then embroiders versions of these interwoven photographs, imagining herself part of a matriarchal tradition through her mother’s and father’s deceased parents and grandparents.
