RUTH C SMITH

Through my art I bring together disparate and contradictory elements, creating a new whole that is more than the sum of its parts - digital intertwines with natural, structure dances with chaos... My creative process begins with designing my work digitally. This gives me the opportunity to experiment and make mistakes while also setting up my designs to be laser cut in the process. These designs are typically geometric in nature, surfacing the hidden yet simple structures behind people or moments - a person sitting in a chair or a moon rising over a rooftop.
