 * Document the gap you found, describe how you identified it, and analyze its impact on knowledge.

The gap I found is in relation to American-Israeli feminist artist Andi Arnovitz. While there is currently a wikipedia page for her, it is missing an opening paragraph. The existing article notes some of the permanent collections that her art is present in, but it does not detail the topic of her work or its cultural significance as a commentary on the intersection between being Jewish, being a woman, and being Israeli. I chose to do my visual analysis paper on this artist, as I was naturally drawn to her art and to the topics that she explores, due to my Israeli heritage.

Current version:

Andi LaVine Arnovitz (born 1959) is an American Israeli printmaker and multimedia artist.

Suggested edit: Andi LaVine Arnovitz (born 1959) is an American-Israeli printmaker and multimedia artist. Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, she received her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis before immigrating to Israel in 1999. An orthodox Jew and self-identified feminist, Andi explores issues of religion, Middle-East conflict, women's rights and others in her art. Arnovitz chooses to create her pieces using materials that are often associated with women, such as thread and needles, as a commentary on traditional female roles in society. The art she creates is often politically motivated, most recently critiquing the atrocities happening in Islamic countries and depicting worries about nuclear development in Iran. In her newest collection, "Threatened Beauty," Arnovitz deconstructs traditional Islamic visual culture and recreates it in pieces that question the modern issues facing the region. Previously, she has critiqued orthodox Judaism in works such as the "Coat of the Agunah," in which separated couples have an unequal power paradigm, where the woman cannot legally divorce from her husband without his permission and approval
