Egg, Rochelle Rubinstein, block printed, painted and carved wood panel
I respond to this carved wood panel by
Rochelle Rubenstein. It reminds me of
Paterson Ewen's work with routered plywood, cosmic imagery.
The rugged material, uneasy horizontals, and jaggedy marks tip me into some unnameable emotion.
Her marks are made by taking away material. She subtracts. This is opposite to stitch. Stitch adds.
I saw Rochelle Rubenstein's piece in
Momento Mori , the exhibition curated by Gareth Bate for the World of Threads festival from works that were fibre inspired, not fibre based.
Cohobate, Nicole Collins, wax, pigment, jute twine on canvas, on board
World of Threads also introduced me to the layered work of
Nicole Collins.
She begins with a layer or two of wax and paint, which are then partially removed by scraping or melting, only to be reapplied slightly differently.
The show is up until November 25 at the gallery in
Sheridan college of Art and Design, Oakville, Ontario..
I was inspired to research these two Toronto artists online. A humbling exercise...there is so much..
