The Garment Worker
The Garment Worker, created by Judith Weller, is a realistic rendering of a garment worker, wearing a yarmulke and bend over a hand-operated sewing machine. The sculpture is based on Weller's father, who was a machine operator in the garment industry in New York. The sculpture was made as a tribute to the Jewish garment workers who, at the turn of the 20th century, were the foundation of Jewish life in New York. It stands as a symbol of their hard work, perseverance, and the vital role they played in shaping the city’s garment sector and its immigrant community. The sculpture measures approximately 6 1/2 feet in height, 4 feet in width, and 4 feet in depth. The base of the sculpture adds an additional height of 1 foot.
