SILK STONES - WORKS BY ROCHELLE RUBINSTEIN Opening Reception, Sunday March 11, 2-4 pm @ YUMuseum Like a Baroque sculptor, Rochelle Rubinstein uses materials in ways that delight and deceive the eye. By masking, undermining and transforming the ostensible physical character of objects, she creates surprising visual effects that emphasize the artist’s hand and process. Rubinstein uses multiple techniques – printing and painting, carving and piercing, overlapping and erasing – and re-works individual pieces, often returning to them after a period of months or years.   The subjects in her work are similarly multilayered – and re-interpreted. She blends biblical narratives and culture legends with her own personal stories to create abstract yet recognizable images of family, community and history.     Rochelle Rubinstein is a painter, printmaker, and fabric and book artist. Active in art education in Toronto, where her studio is based, she graduated from Stern College for Women of Yeshiva University as the school’s first Art major.

WHO LEFT THE PAINT ROLLER IN THE FRIDGE? Exhibition installations can be a bit crazy and the craziness can spill out of the gallery – in this case, into the fridge.

IT’S A BIG WORLD - IT MUST BE TU B’SHVAT SOMEWHERE, PT 6 Take a walk down a tree-lined avenue.  Ok, the only tree-lined avenue in town. Here’s another image form a postcard, this from the small hamlet of Yessod-Hamaala near what is today the Tel Aviv megalopolis.  The trees offered a welcome escape from the sweltering afternoon heat.  So did siesta.

IT’S A BIG WORLD - IT MUST BE TU B’SHVAT SOMEWHERE, PT 5  Who wares white to visit the fields? Oh, right.  The dude in the straw hat. When Zionist settlers arrived in the land of Israel from Europe, they brought—unsurprisingly—their customs and habits, and shaped them to fit the climate.  For example, you might see the person waring a white blazer with a straw hat—light material meant to keep him cool, and in style!

IT’S A BIG WORLD - IT MUST BE TU B’SHVAT SOMEWHERE, PT 4 How do you like your sheep?  I hope walking through town is ok!  This postcard is from what is today one of the furthest northern and windiest towns in Israel.  Like many other Zionist settlements, it started as an agricultural community, and the trees whose birthdays we just celebrated, were planted to make the area more comfortable and habitable… and to give fruit.  You might note the absence of much in the way of trees outside of town.  Metulla, a Jewish Village on the Syrian Boarder Beautiful Palestine Series 1, No 30
