Ruth Piper

I am a painter. Working with water based medium. Acrylic and watercolour.
Central to my work are notions of transition and transformation that link to a strong sense of place both physical and psychological.
The process of painting is experienced here as a fictional layering of the past and present that can look back at the viewer with a glimpse of something hidden, not yet known or experienced.
These paintings are located in the transitional mythological space between knowing and the unconscious, where dreams and reality merge.
