Rothschild's work is a muscular, tactile exploration of the physical world and dynamic movement in space, reflecting her love of rock climbing. Ropes and knots become lifelines that interconnect, weaving multiple levels of meaning. The paintings begin with the basic interlocking unit that implies an infinite pattern. What grows also decays; what is interlocked will also unravel. The final painting expresses these realities of nature and culture. Tied through history, textile as common craft and painting as high art reflect the problematic privileging of human creation. By painting the de-fabrication of textiles, the work challenges notions of artistic expression and the hierarchies that are woven into our collective consciousness.
