Ruth creates innovative one-off pieces, mixing contemporary design with historical craft techniques. Her highly decorative works use luxurious traditional art materials such as gold leaf alongside waste plastic and felt tips, in an attempt to disrupt narratives of art history and taste. Functional objects are embedded with personal stories and landscapes, slowly revealing narratives. Glass canvases offering a moment between the tangible and the virtual, a space beyond into a dream world. A place for fragility to be reframed into a place of power.
