"Levine's work has focused on loss, grief, and pain of all kinds across the years of her practice since she earned a BFA from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2007 and an MFA from California College of the Arts in San Francisco in 2012. More importantly, though, it has offered perspectives on both the causes of losses and communal ways in which healing can be implemented."
"Before I get into the specifics, let me emphasize what I consider the strongest aspect of her work before us. Real grief strikes down to the bone. There are no layers, no occlusions, no obscurations that it does not penetrate - they all become irrelevant. Levine's sculptures and installations have that same directness: What you see is what you get."
Exhibition Without End runs through May 31 at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Holocaust Education Center. Two children relocated permanently as survivors of the Altadena/Eaton Fire that destroyed their house, neighborhood, gardens, and family mementos. Levine's work focuses on grief elicited by climate-related natural disasters, originating in Palisade fire-induced losses. Levine's practice has addressed loss, grief, and pain since earning a BFA in 2007 and an MFA in 2012. The work offers perspectives on causes of losses and communal ways to implement healing. The sculptures and installations embody a directness analogous to the penetrating nature of real grief.
