Ruby Wallis in conversation with ARC students.
Ruby Wallis, a current artist-resident at IMMA, will discuss her PhD research and her current practice, including recent work exhibited at Belfast Exposed. Based in an alternative community in the Burren in the west of Ireland, Wallis sought to expand the medium of photography beyond the objective gaze and monocular vision to develop new methods of mapping, and to open new areas of inquiry through lens based fine art practice. Her very recent images highlight interactions and pressure between tactile and tangible surfaces and substances that are natural or synthetic, organic or structured, intimate or abstract.
