Ruth Manning’s Artist Statement

People are a key element of my work and I’ve continued to explore the spaces they inhabit and the routines they have created. I’ve become interested in exploring how I can present tapestry as a piece of cloth with exposed threads and drape. These artworks are the result of time spent focusing the past two years on three blocks of the Joseph Avenue Neighborhood in Rochester, New York.

Ruth Manning’s Biography

Ruth Manning is an artist who lives in Rochester, NY. Her studio is the space that surrounds her, wherever she may be. She observes life and translates these experiences into visual art by drawing, painting, and weaving. Her ideas are inspired by people, how they alter their surroundings, spend their time, and construct their conversations. The artwork you see here is the result of this observation.
