Interview with Rochelle Rubinstein

loop member Rochelle Rubinstein was recently featured on The World of Threads Festival Weekly Fibre Artist Interview Series.  In this interview, she describes her working process, sources of inspiration and other aspects of her artistic practice. Read the interview here.

Rochelle Rubinstein's current exhibition with Lanny Shereck entitled HOMESTEAD is at loop Gallery until September 25, 2011. Homestead, features a collaborative installation of Lanny's house-like structures covered with Rochelle's block-printed, painted and embroidered silk - an exploration of the notion of home and of dwelling. Together the artists intended to evoke the permanence and strength of stone in combination with the fragility and comfort of fabric.
