"Rubinstein draws inspiration from varied sources, including Aztec codices, Hebrew text, and ancient Equadorian pottery designs. In SONOGRAM, the central image is based on a fetal ultrasound scan suggesting amniotic fluid, nourishing and protecting new life. Surrounding the womb/sonogram are layered representations of rural Ontario's vegetation and hills. Seen from a distance, the complexity of images dissolves into abstraction.
SENESCENCE and SONOGRAM are two large-scale, block-printed, painted and carved wood panels. In SENESCENCE, the framework is a repetition of the Hebrew text of Kaddish, a mourner's prayer that addresses the releasing of attachment to mortal existence. In SONOGRAM, the central image is based on a fetal sonogram, but also resembles a pond, consisting of dozens of prints of fish, babies, stones, socks, and flying women. The pond echoes amniotic fluid, nourishing and protecting new life. Surrounding the pond/sonogram are layered representations of rural Ontario's vegetation and hills. Seen from a distance, the morass of images dissolves into abstraction."
