Ruth Ducker Art - Ruth Ducker Art: Creative Expressions

Canvas and Fabric works

Each piece has a story. Some stories are embedded in the objects, some stories emerge as objects come together.

Ruth Ducker Art

I work with discarded materials, broken objects, things destined for landfill.

I work with found and discarded objects. Each piece has a story, the meaning might lie in a single item or emerge from the relationship between the parts. While some of the elements, collected over the years, carry personal significance, my aim is to create something that can be approached without context. I leave space for the viewer to respond freely, to see their own story in the layers. I give hints to the history and my relationship with the items in the titles, which can be a point of conversation to share my own narrative.
