Ruth Poor

  • Ruth Poor utilizes multiple mediums to investigate the entwined nature of identity and power within historical, social, and religious narratives associated with the rural midwest. Iconography heralds back to religious and historical painting, with an individual touch of collage, paint, or fabric, situated in new surrealist environments. Dissected, these new constructions balance irony with a sense bordering on the apocalyptic.
