In early 2025, Temple Sinai commissioned a communal art installation — “Words of Our Hearts.” The artists have printed our words on small sheets of paper, building on the memories and experiences of our community.
It is now time for us to wrap the paper around the clips to create a three-dimensional artwork that weaves together the unique stories of our Temple Sinai family.
The art materials for the sculpture are 650 strands of 100 wrapped paper clips. So far we have 400 strands completed — with 250 more to go by June.
The art committee is distributing canvas bag wrapping kits containing the materials. The process is easy to learn.
Watch a video of how to make a strand of wrapped paper clips!
Pick up and return wrapping kits from the boxes in the Temple’s community lounge. Place your completed strand in the canvas bag provided. Be sure to sign your kit in on the sheet attached to the collection box.
And feel free to take another kit if you enjoy the wrapping process!
When the 650 strands are complete, the artists will integrate and assemble them together to create the artwork.
The last step is to install the hanging sculpture in the display case at Temple Sinai. Our goal is to have artwork installed by Rosh HaShanah in September.
