Ruby Kester Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
My work centres around two parallel strands: visual art and writing, and takes inspiration from ancient history, ecology, philosophy and religious anthropology.
For the visual strand I work primarily in painting, drawing, and printmaking, although the medium is often dictated by the idea, which means that I have quite a broad visual practice. My writing takes the form of poetry, fiction, and non-fictional life writing influenced by psychogeography.
