Ruth@jawsjournal.com
Ruth is a practice-based/led research student based at the School of Arts at Birkbeck, looking at concepts of 'work', 'practice' and 'precarity' through reflecting on her own practice. In the meantime she has begun recycling her old paintings into new works, through cutting her old paintings up with various power tools; taking 'cut and paste' to a whole new level.
