philosophy

ruth says of her work; ' i am fascinated with light, reflection and the interplay of overlaid images, especially pattern. it is the suggestion of  an alternative world existing alongside ever-day reality that captivates me and remains a constant source of inspiration. i paint on patterened furnishing fabrics using layers of transparent paint to explore the interplay between overlaid images and exploit my fascination with pattern'.
