I have spent far too long looking at this fascinating website and have become truly absorbed. Ruth, your work is remarkable. For me the ‘layers’ within each creation have provoked self-questioning and reflection. No doubt this is a good thing even tho’ the experience has been tiring, too. Your authenticity radiates through as word, image and book join together on the page. I look forward to viewing your work ‘in the flesh’ (wounds and all) …. Pip
Glad you like it Philippa, thanks so much for the comments.
