Natural (Re)Sources at Ruthin Craft Centre
8th July - 24th September 2023
Ruthin Craft Centre, The Centre for the Applied Arts, Park Road, Ruthin, Denbighshire LL15 1BB
“Natural (Re)Sources looks at the origin of the artist’s chosen materials. This doesn’t mean that the finished work looks as if it has just been collected from a forest floor, or dug from the ground without intervention, but rather that the material basis for the work is ‘of the earth’ in various forms” - Gregory Parsons, Curator
I’m delighted to have been invited to make a collection for this beautifully curated show at the esteemed Ruthin Craft Centre in Wales, and have taken inspiration from the colours of the surrounding Welsh landscape and my own natural origins in Norway.
