“I want to honor the memory of the victims of the devastation of Hiroshima. And, perhaps, put to sleep my own unrest and rage. I have incorporated images into a body of work that combines cyanotypes with textile and stitching to attempt to convey my enduring response to the tragedy. I wanted the results to be beautiful to my eyes, yes, but the key element, the “heartbreaking-ness” would be my mission and challenge.”
Ruth Ross graduated from Parson’s School of Design in New York City with a degree in Graphic Design. After a career as an Art Director for Random House, she returned to her primary art practices: painting, printmaking, photography, and now, textile. In New York Ruth was represented by Julie Artisans’ Gallery. She has exhibited her work at the Widney Moore Gallery, Gallery 114, the Artists Repertory Theatre, Bite Studio, and the Multnomah Art Center all in Portland Oregon.
