Artist Statement/ Biography

Gabriel Bielawski's work examines the ways that image making transforms real identities into vectors for the expression of others, most recently with a focus on the tragic relationship between these processes and ancestral memory. He is currently developing an installation re-enacting the ritual creation of the golem, a body made from clay that is said to have been brought to life through Jewish mystical practice.
