Summary:

"Paper Bridge was designed collaboratively by Ellen Schechner-Johnson and Michele Burgess. It explores the legend of the 'paper bridge,' seeking to express the historic liminality of Jewish existence, the image of the wandering Jew, the subjects of displacement, homelessness, and disconnection--of belonging and not belonging. The poems by Kadya Molodowsky, written in 1930 and 1942, express this specifically, and are placed as touchstones or buried treasure within the collaged fragments of Yiddish and other language texts and expressive etchings by the artist"--Colophon.
