The Satiric Dressing Room
Construction
8" x 12" x 10"
Gale Rothstein, 2014
 This assemblage was inspired by my favorite surrealist photographer’s image, The Satiric Dancer, by Andre Kertesz. |
| Gale Rothstein's art practice has always been about putting together the pieces. She makes assemblage sculptures in which assembled boxes and environments (Inter-Exteriors) emerge from a strong narrative and historical framework. Referenced through reuse, the work is informed by her former career as a jewelry designer and life-long pursuit of collecting antiques, collectibles, found objects, harvested broken appliances, and other used items. Rothstein's work is influenced by her father's memory, who was a jack of all trades and one of the original recyclers and re-purposers decades before it was commonplace. She inherited his collection of parts and incorporates many of his objects into her assemblages, further supporting the work's historical and personal foundation. |
