It’s pretty wild that I created Forgive Us, my sculpture portrait of Ivanka and Jared, BEFORE the events of Jan 6th. I think this piece has taken on a whole new meaning since that day, and I’m so thankful to Luis P. Melgar for creating this beautiful illustration highlighting all my interventions on the original antique platter!
This sculpture employs 18k gold and late grandma Buddy’s melted gold teeth to transform an antique platter portrait of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette into one of Jared and Ivanka. The platter has been in my family for generations - we used it to hold matzoh at Passover.
