New Rubbing: Jennifer Bornstein

Overview
New Rubbing, Jennifer Bornstein
With New Rubbing, Jennifer Bornstein presents an inventory of her father’s life. Personal belongings are transcribed through an extensive series of encaustic rubbings. Bornstein’s exhibition, her first at Dvir gallery, is a prolific recording of a person’s legacy. 
 
The rubbings are an extension of Bornstein’s printmaking practice that she began with etching in 2003. The durability of the Kozo paper allows the artist to manipulate the surface of the rubbings as one would fabric, bringing dimensionality to seemingly flat objects, and flatness to dimensional objects, with the effect of wrinkled laundry.
