David Wander
For the past thirty years, Wander has worked extensively with biblical texts, reimagining them in a visual context. Using an accordian book format, he has completed the five megillot. He has also completed Sefer Yonah; The Story of Joseph (in a series of lithographs); The Story of King David, (in five books); and many other biblical texts. David taught a class in visual midrash at Chovevei, and a drawing from the text course at SAR. In these classes students are asked to produce their own visual midrash that eventually gets printed in a hardcover book of art and text. He has worked with Prof. David Kraemer as a chevruta study partner for more than a decade and his biblical artistic representations have been widely shown in museums and religious spaces throughout the United States and Israel.
