Ruby Berry

RubyBerryRuby Berry is a Canberra-based textile artist who uses natural materials and traditional
processes to create sculptural textile works. She says this about her practice on an interview with Lip Magazine:

“My practice is about exploring how I can bring traditional textile materials and processes into the contemporary art world. My making revolves around traditional techniques, hand spinning and weaving, and transforming these techniques into sculptural art forms. I have recently begun experimenting with sensory work, exploring sight, smell and touch to create interactive and engaging spaces.  My recent work looks at how I could evoke a sense of protection and comfort through textile associations and sensory engagement.”

Polly Fern

PollyFernPolly Fern reveals very little about herself except that she is an illustrator, ceramist and canary keeper based in Norwich, UK. We were captivated by her ceramic pieces of which she writes on
Unabridged Illustration:

“Through ceramics I have resembled the discovery within gardening, to do so I have created ceramic remnants of time. These fragmented ceramic pieces relate to when you are digging soil and discover broken pottery pieces. Within an exhibition space, the purposes of these pieces are for people to discover, organize and observe.”

Rose Blake

RoseBlakeRose Blake is an illustrator and artist based in London. Her work has wide appeal with its pop culture references, trademark characters and warm humor. Particularly liking the museum panoramas from her solo exhibition entitled, “Now I Am an Artist”. It addresses the age old debate as to whether illustration counts as a fine art form or not. Her dedication of entire days to painting, drawing and creating fresh ideas of high quality certainly affirms that for her illustration is fine art.  You can view more of her work on her blog as well.
