Melissa Shiff’s Jewish Mandalas
Sign up for Forwarding the News, our essential morning briefing with trusted, nonpartisan news and analysis, curated by Senior Writer Benyamin Cohen.
Melissa Shiff’s spinning mandalas are created from Jewish images taken from museum collections. She talks to the Forward’s arts and culture editor, Dan Friedman, about how she chooses the images, how she makes the mandalas and what, exactly, mandalas are.
