Artist's Statement of Ruth Collis

"I love exploring what a medium can do, but especially the endless forms of thick acrylic paint that I keep discovering! I'm inspired by products that have or can be manufactured, cool tools, & inventing all the possible outrageous techniques I can think of to create certain fun effects, like the Jellyfish Squish that is using a certain brush to get all these intricate jelly lines in one brush press. My style is more free-form than realistic to feel free to create exciting things that can be imagined.

Currently, the manufacturers have made these recessed elongated holes of architecture in canvases, perfect for displaying some of my paint sculptures, that I am excited to now make into more free-standing forms."
