Tutor: Ruth Wallace

Ruth makes large-scale drawings in charcoal, graphite and mixed media. Her recent work, which centres on portrayals of women’s clothing, explores the dichotomy between absence and presence and the homely and the disturbing in relation to the domestic interior. It also addresses issues connected with memory and female identity and is informed by the distinctive visual style of film noir.

Ruth’s work has been shown at the Victoria Art Gallery, Hotbath Gallery and Theatre Royal in Bath and at the Tobacco Factory and Square Gallery in Bristol.
