Ruth Howard is a multi-disciplinary artist working in painting and ceramics on an intimate scale. In her minimalist paintings, a single object floats on a flat plane, emphasising the interplay between shape and negative space. Her ceramic sculptures explore organic form and the transformative nature of glaze, often depicting abstracted creatures and natural elements that appear newly formed from the earth or sea. By layering and stacking clay, Howard creates vertical structures that feel organic and elemental. Their textured surfaces drip with glaze, accentuating each curve and indentation to create tactile works that invite both touch and quiet reflection.
