Ruby Brown features in the group exhibition, ‘Form over Fallacy’, opening tomorrow, Saturday 22 March, 3-5pm. @ruby_te_ata_marama Born in Ōtepoti, Aotearoa New Zealand, Ruby Brown is a multidisciplinary artist exploring sensation, perception, and our bodily connections to the world. Ruby Brown is drawn to materials and objects that conjure emotional reactions and provoke experimentation. Towelling, velvet, and chenille offer a pile that can be sculpted to create movement and pattern across a surface. Applying acrylic polymer to the fabric in a painterly way creates sculptural and skin-like qualities to the surfaces, muting the patterns and colours, and acting like a crusted veil. The fabrics and tapestries Brown works with usually involve figuration and landscape. She then collages them to repurpose the descriptive elements and obscure the original image. Brown is interested in ‘rip as line’, the act of tearing fabric, weave splitting and threads pulling, creating a pathway through the surface. A kind of scarring line emerges when the fabric is collaged back together. Ruby currently lives and works on Wurundjeri Country, Melbourne, Australia.
