About this artwork
This is a portrait of a man who will not be named. Built from the remnants of wedding fabric, gauze, and Austrian Trachten, it holds what is left after something irreparable. The trauma finds its release in the act of making: his image expelled onto wood, fixed there with staples and nails. Paint and glitter catch the light alongside a Trachten button, transforming wreckage into something that insists on beauty. It is ready to hang.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
- Works on commission
Rivka Karasik grew up ultra- orthodox and Hasidic in Brooklyn. A life steeped in ritual objects, sacred text, and the weight of inherited tradition, and her art has never left that world behind, even as it ruptures and reimagines it. Trained at the Art Students League and Hunter College, she builds layered constructions from salvaged wood, found objects, and ritual materials bound by glue, nails, and thread: assemblages that feel less made than excavated. Her work sits at the intersection of memory and repair: textile threads suturing old wounds, collaged surfaces holding together what time and loss have pulled apart. After a long and frozen winter, she is creating again, and the work shows it.
