New Rubbing: Jennifer Bornstein

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.

 

 Bornstein received an M.F.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles, a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley, and participated in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Study Program. Her work has been widely exhibited at institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
