During the seven weeks of ‘Entangled’ we’ll focus on individual artists here on our blog. ‘some things looming’ is pleased to introduce: Mary Ruth Smith
My personal use of fabrics, threads and the domestic techniques associated with women’s work stems from a background where both my mother and grandmother made and decorated clothing, quilts and other household items that relate historically to the tradition of many women of their times. However, my intent became one that is in alignment with the contemporary position: to use these same means to produce art works that solely function as wall pieces for viewing purposes.
