Diary Page
Harold Rubin
12.10.06 - 30.11.06
My works are pages from a diary which I have been documenting since
childhood.
My own life and the lives around me – images of relationships
between people within the society in which I live.
The dynamics of the human condition provokes me to make entries into
this personal commentary – an intense urgency to make a mark
on a piece of paper that will create a momentum to take me into a
process of discovery about - myself – my work – the human
animal and our amazing spirit and sense for survival or at times not
so.
A timeless magnificent failure and an occupation that keeps me more
or less sane – a stimulation to proceed.
