The Papercut Book of Esther Archie Granot was commissioned to create a unique papercut Book of Esther in thirteen columns of text, nine of which have the word “HaMelech” as the first word on the column, thus giving a traditional input into a contemporary work of Judaica. Additionally, a colophon page was created giving a total of 14 pages. The colophon reads: "I, Archie Granot - Aaron Yosef, son of Natan Yaakov and Sara Lea Goorney - have hand cut this Book of Esther in the Holy City of Jerusalem, Capital of the State of Israel for my friends Mark Goldfus and Beverly Rubman - Mordechai ben Samuel and Miriam Bayla, daughter of Kalman and Sheyna - in the United States of America. I labored for 4 years over the excellence of each cut. I completed the work in the month of Kislev in the year 5770 (2009). A cutting blade is my scribal quill and papercutting is my art” Completed, with praise unto the Lord, Creator of all things." |
