Ruth Chambers
Ruth Chamber’s hand built bulbs and flowers are created out of delicately coloured porcelain and present various stages of their growth patterns. The artist carefully considers and skillfully hand models these sculptures in extreme detail. Her bowls and cylinders reference painting and ceramic histories to literally unsettle our assumptions of the genres.
