During Ruthie’s presentation, I was overwhelmed of how many different ways she chose to use her inspirations and intertwine them with her art pieces. Taking into consideration that most of the pieces that were shown to us were 3D figures, I thought she chose her materials very well concerning each different piece. The materials themselves were not only interesting in a way that caught your eye but they also developed deeper thought of how each piece came to be. Such as the “belly floor” piece made from tubes, the material itself really got me trying to think what she was thinking as she was making the piece. Along with the pieces were she collected objects and arranged them in order to create a harmonic piece. Looking through her drawings I found it fascinating that she utilized the sun’s presence in most of her pieces. I thought it was awesome how she’d use the natural light to light an object and trace its shadow to create drawings, I honestly would have never thought of that.
