TABERNACLE inhabiting the wearable temple.  Building upon the Talmudic tradition of analysis and crritique, Tabernacle explores the formal and ritual connections between the great temples of ancient Judaism and the diasporic traditions that developed as a result of their destruction. Focusing on the commandment of Tefillin, the project examines how the absence of a centralized sacred space resulted in a written tradition that mandates the ceremonial adornment of garments and wearables to connect the physical body to the divine.
