"Rubado’s intricate wall-based work House Spirit evokes a sense of memory. Beginning with a curtain found in her new home, Rubado unwove the curtain line by line, keeping each strand carefully numbered in the order it was removed, leaving only the top hem to keep the vertical lines in place. The work was then re-woven. The name of the work is an homage to the previous owner and to the ghosting of the pattern in the work as it moves from the intact hem to the bottom."
