Alexandra Gordon is a visual artist from Philadelphia, PA. Gordon is a senior currently studying Behavioral Health Counseling at Drexel University, and is pursuing a graduate degree in Art Therapy. Gordon’s work focuses mostly on Jewish identity, material significance, and connection through storytelling.
"And Their Offerings" was created from an idea in Gordon’s zine from 2017, Personals, which used people’s most beloved objects to describe them juxtaposed with a Craigslist-type personal to create a visual diptych of person and objects. Using a similar method of visual storytelling, "And Their Offerings" uses portraiture and objects to explore personal symbolism, permanency, and the capturing of “afterlife objects” people would bring with them to the spiritual beyond. "Tachlis" explores the artist’s connection to Jewish identity through traditional and nontraditional symbolism. Objects relating uniquely to both Gordon’s experience as a Jewish person, as well as the ways these objects are understood and reproduced throughout the culture is explored as part of this piece.
