Heather Rubinstein | High Tide

Heather Bause-Rubinstein creates abstract paintings on found materials and reclaimed domestic textiles. The resulting pieces come together quilt-like, with the intense layering of paint and fabric, interwoven with textures and thread. She sources materials from thrift stores: household linens, crochets, cheap designer scarves, and women’s business jackets, often favoring fabrics made in the 1970s and 1980s, the period of the artist’s childhood.
