Jil Weinstock’s sculptures include personal objects such as vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories which the artist electroplates or casts in rubber. Her fleshy, tactile Rubber House uses a 1970’s Fisher Price dollhouse as a model, and stirs waves of nostalgia in the viewer. Weinstock casts the toy in different shades of pigmented rubber to explore how objects from one’s early youth bridge the gap between reality and reminiscence. The idealized home is sealed now; it can no longer be opened up, carried around and played with, unlike the memories and associations it evokes.
Jil Weinstock received a joint M.F.A. from the University of California Berkeley and San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been shown worldwide including solo gallery exhibitions at Winston Wachter, Sara Meltzer and Charles Cowles in New York; Walter Maciel Gallery in Los Angeles; and other venues in the US and abroad. Weinstock lives and works in New York City, where she is represented by Winston Wachter Fine Art.
