I met Ruth when she was working on Ianue, one of her public art pieces. It was a performance using horses, as she says. There was also a butoh dancer working on the project and I was working with her. Moving very slowly and intently. I'm not 100% pleased with our piece in the performance and it would appear that Ruth wasn't either as it's not shown in the photos.

I find her work interesting and it's also interesting to see that there's a place for essay writting on her website. I feel like i might be interested in what she has to say but may not read the essays yet. I shall have to return when i've more time.

It's interesting to think of someone from the next village working successfully at a creative industry (that doesn't involve watercolours of boats or pots to put things in) and a little understood one at that. My little brother joined in with Ruth's performance in Oswestry. It was a treat to see him try to explain to my (deliberately) ignorant father that the work was metaphorical and emotional rather than a didactic explaination of the locations history.
