Rothschild Eva, *1972 (Dublin) Lives in London, works with sculpture and produces paper works. Mass Mind,2003 Black Perspex, 400 x 300 cm Ø © Eva Rothschild Mass Mind exemplifies Rothschild's concern with belief systems and the objects in which we invest our beliefs. Formidably large with highly polished reflecting surfaces, the sculpture suggests both a totem and a fetish; it is a deliriously blank receptacle for spiritual investment. The artist draws parallels between such objects and the process of artistic creation: "I like that objects and images associated with belief don't have any other function except to furnish that belief, that they are anachronistic in a secular society where most things have a defined function or end use. Making work is like trying to sow the gap in contemporary culture, where everything is available and catered for. It's like trying to supply something ... that doesn't fulfil a specific need, but leads to something undefined." |

Rothschild Eva, *1972 (Dublin) Lives in London, works with sculpture and produces paper works. Royal Command,2003 Woven paper, 155 x 111 cm © Eva Rothschild With her woven paper works, Rothschild carefully interweaves the precision-cut strands of two photocopied posters, paintings or drawings, yielding a hybrid image with an almost three-dimensional appearance. Featuring Goth-like fluorescent colours, her works are charged with notions of dread, the vampiric and the funereal, and littered with exotic flower imagery. Kinky and enigmatic, their moribund efflorescence and solemn iconicity evoke supernatural Victoriana or paranormal needlepoint. Using various images from disparate sources, Rothschild literally weaves fantasy with folklore in her paper works: her obsessively detailed craftwork charts the territory between metaphor and magic. |
